What a difference a year makes. In 2013, Roger Federer lost in the second round of Wimbledon, got unceremoniously bounced out of two clay-court events, then lost to nemesis Rafael Nadal in the Cincinnati quarterfinals.

Going into this, we couldn't help but think that this was a contest to see which of these two had slipped more from his prime. It was, obviously, Murray, who will not rise above #9 and therefore will need a withdrawal by Rafael Nadal or someone if he is to earn the #8 U. S. Open seed.

That much was guaranteed on Thursday, when the host nation's last two hopes in Isner and Steve Johnson both went down in third-set tiebreakers.

Xavier Malisse and Fabrice Santoro got off to winning starts on the opening day of the Optima Open in Knokke Heist, each recording victories over Goran Ivanisevic and Greg Rusedski respectively.
Maybe Novak Djokovic suffered from one too many headlines. This is the one Masters event he has never won, so naturally everyone was wondering if he could win it this year.
