BACK TO THE FUTURE

ATP ROTTERDAM
Hello McFly: Our unassuming player here has to be Viktor Troicki. We often wait for this guy to implode in a spot when he shouldn't, but this week, he's been solid with a pair of straight set wins. Del Potro is up next. Helloooooo McFly!

Biff: The asshole who made people angry this week. Have to give the edge to Dolgopolov. Nobody is more of a risk to lose in the 1st round or run to the finals of a tournament than this guy. Like Forrest Gump said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Dolgpolov looks like he got chocolate wasted, losing to Kubot in the 1st round.

Doc Brown: Who's doing work this week? A couple candidates here. Jarkko Nieminen and Nikolay Davydenko. Nieminen continues to impress on indoor hard courts without much fanfare. He's probably not going to go any further up against Federer, but already a good showing with two wins. Davydenko gets honorable mention here, knocking off Dutch local Robin Haase and outdueling Paul Henri Mathieu. His career has been in the crapper for the better part of a year and a half, can he go a step further against Gasquet?

ATP SAO PAULO
Hello McFly: Carlos Berlocq gets the nod here as he continues working hard and winning on clay without much hoopla. Two wins here and his first in nine tries against Potito Starace to cap it off. Your reward? Nicolas Almagro in the quarters. Hellllllooooo McFly!

Biff: Got to give the asshole tip to Albert Montanes this week for crashing out in the first round against Filippo Volandri. It's not just that he lost to Volandri, he got crushed 6-2, 6-3. Thanks for showing up this week.

Doc Brown: Who's doing work here? How about Leonardo Mayer. All he has done this week is beat Juan Carlos Ferrero and an in-form Jeremy Chardy to get to the quarters. His serve has been pretty solid and he gets Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci next. That is one I'll pay to see.

ATP SAN JOSE
Hello McFly: Our under-the-radar flyer in San Jose has to be Julien Benneteau. The Frenchman probably wasn't given much chance to do anything here after getting whipped in Davis Cup play by Milos Raonic on an indoor hard court last weekend. Benneteau though showed up here ready to play and took out Ryan Sweeting in a pair of tight sets and then crushed Gilles Muller. He's in the quarters here and with his draw against Darcis and then maybe Roddick, Benneteau could be staring at a title match. Hellloooooo McFly!

Biff: Easy choice here for our disappointing asshole, Donald Young. Young expected to be more of a breakout American star got ushered out easily in straights by Michael Russell in the 1st round,. No disrespect to Russell, an experienced tour vet with the heart of a lion, but if Young is ever going to be a consistent winner ... you don't lose that sort of match. Remember that scene where Biff gets a load of manure dumped in his car? That's about where Young's performance ranked this week.

Doc Brown: Who's doing work? How boutcha Steve Darcis. Being a bit of a Darcisist myself [one who cannot resist the veteran play of Steve Darcis], it's nice to see him continuing a solid run of form here. He made the Dallas Challenger final on a similar surface last week and has shown no hangover effect from losing to Jesse Levine. He ousted youngster Steve Johnson and then inched out Radek Stepanek. He's got Benneteau next and could give him all he can handle based on his current form.
