Good morning. This will be today's thread for discussing the tennis action in Rome, or for the WTA event in Berlin.

Today's Order of Play in Rome on Stadio Pietrangeli has Novak Djokovic against Steve Darcis, James Blake against Andreas Seppi, and Juan Carlos Ferrero taking on Rafael Nadal. Matchups on Campo 1, to a tennis fan, look even tastier - Almagro versus Nalbandian, Ancic against Davydenko, Bolelli versus Simon, and Murray taking on Wawrinka.

I hope to be able to provide some colour from Rome later today.
