There you go, James Blake
A player not often mentioned on tennischatter is America’s own, James Blake. Yesterday in Rome Blake showed he can swing he too can play on clay. He beat Gael Monfils 7-6 (4), 6-3 to advance to the next round. The best part of the victory was the fact that Monfils had beaten the American last year in Roland Garros and so Blake was only returning the favor. Revenge is sweet.
“I feel like I’ve gotten better. Whether or not this one match proves it, I don’t know. But I definitely feel like I’ve gotten better on clay,” said Blake.
Next up for Blake is Nicolas Massu who defeated Simon Bolleli of Italy in the first round. Good luck to you James Blake, 
keep that head band on and keep swinging towards the third round.
And in other OBVIOUS news, Federer made it past his first foe and his awaiting a third round opponent.
