He's 31.

But Haasi, who is also in a final today, is 34.

Picked delpo to win the tournament from the start but ironically didn't see any of the tournament. How well was he playing?

Serving wonderfully. Seems to have a lot of the confidence back that appeared to have left him during AO time.

This is just the start of a busy time for him - he's supposed to be competing in Marseilles, Dubai, IW, and Miami. So I hope he doesn't burn himself out or overfatigue before he has a chance to achieve whatever his ranking goals are for this part of the season.

thank you. Good to hear. I did think playing indoors would help him get into his groove again. hope he doesn't burn out like you said. maybe he should concentrate on dubai and the masters.

was painting the lines... very impressive. it is a testament to Julien that he broke him twice and gave him a good fight.

Painting lines, hitting clean as a sheet, good shots right at Julien's feet, great aggression, lots of winners.

Del Potter for the win! He needs to bring this kind of form to the slams.

Julien's thoughts on the match...

Understandably he is very disappointed.
