2014 Erste Bank Open - Austrian Open - Vienna (ATP 250)

[JRAJ1988]

Stuff is playing way more aggressively, though he's 0-30 on his serve at 3-1

 

[jaggy]

Murray breaks right back, 2nd serve as weak as ever though

Dr Ivo and Ferrer will sure be a contrast in styles

The match to watch

Kudos to Victor Troicki, when he returned from his ban in July he was ranked like 850th in the world, now already he's knocking on the top 100 door.

He could win comeback player of the year?

As it stands right now, that award has to go to either Goffin or Cuevas. If either of them finishes strong the next two weeks, they are seeds at AO, not just direct entries. If Troicki wins in these events, he could eclipse them.

Ferrer having a hard time with Ivo's serve, as expected

tight tie break!

Clutch Ferrer! 7/6 (7/5)

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Karlovic is so tough to break, and Ferrer is a great returner
can picture a 7/6 7/6 win

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

so many body serve today from Ivo, really good tactic

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Haha finally a break from Ferrer

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

7/6 6/4 good match from Ferrer, had to stay very focused the whole match

 

[jaggy]

Murray up a set and a break

 

[tennisaddict]

Ferrer to face Murray in SF again next week.

 

[jaggy]

PK ties Ferrer, one set all

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

So we got our final Ferrer-Murray

 

[JRAJ1988]

hmmm

I really don't know who's going to win this, if Murray plays like he did in the first set in Shanghai he will win but if Ferrer goes into terrier mode and bites Murray's 2nd serve Daveeed will win.

Someone on this forum said Murray should play more 250s to gain confidence, I think it was Mainad or Down the Line..you're right.

yeah and i guess this time Murray is gonna win this, he spent less energy on the court this week compared to Ferrer
