I told the guys on chat this morning that I had a hunch Flipkens would do well versus Zvonareva. And this is what i get: 6-0 6-0. If they had played a round of strip poker Flipkens would have left the court in Dubai like this again:
First couple of days have passed and it's been going to plan, so far. The first day was a bit wobbly, but I've made up for that and I'm now a little ahead of schedule.
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man my son!
—Rudyard Kipling
