No matter that Warren Buffett does not offer $1 billion for a perfect French Open bracket like he does for the NCAA basketball tournament. Nobody would come close. Among those in the third round are Jack Sock, Dusan Lajovic, and Donald Young.
Spanish sixth seed Feliciano Lopez rallied past dis-heartened American Sam Querrey 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 to hand the Californian his fifth consecutive defeat of the season. One-time US No. 1 Querrey, his ranking sinking like a stone and now down to 57th, has not been able to produce much game after the heartbreak of an engagement gone wrong in 2013 and its subsequent effects on his tennis.
Since Davis Cup carried points, we would ordinarily talk about movers at this time. But Novak Djokovic couldn't move no matter what, and Dusan Lajovic didn't add any points, and Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek effectively repeated what they did last year -- so nothing happened.

After all, the only way you can win is if you play -- and there was a good chance that neither of those teams would play.
Czech Republic leads Serbia 2-1 at the end of the second day of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group Final in Belgrade, Serbia on 15-17 November.
Novak Djokovic, who opened the tie, admitted to some nerves in his first set against Radek Stepanek. He broke for 4-2 in the first set, lost the break in the ninth game, but broke again in game twelve, and never looked back, winning 7-5 6-1 6-4.
Serbia and Czech Republic are level at 1-1 at the end of the first day of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group Final in Belgrade, Serbia on 15-17 November.
