2015 ATP Valencia Open- 250

[Pagoo]

The Tomic-go-round.

 

[Wynter]

Lovely passing shot that catches the line

 

[Meles]

Will this game ever end? How many deuces?

 

[tennisfan2010]

7th bp and Tomic breaks finally

 

[Aussie Darcy]

how long was that game?!?

 

[Meles]

Quite the see saw battle first game of second. Cuevas trying to hold.

LOL Tomic does not even know, but very happy to win and thought it might be record. Carlos said close to 20 deuces!

Last grinder til perhaps Ferrer.

 

[tennisfan2010]

And Tomic doublefaults to give the break right back

 

[tennisfan2010]

Cuevas breaks 3-1

 

[Tennis wizard]

Tomic has lost the plot losing 3 in a row

 

[tennisfan2010]

2nd set Cuevas 6-3

 

[Tennis wizard]

tomic clearly giving up on the set -_-

 

[Meles]

Tomic trying to out gring this guy. Big mistake!

 

[tennisfan2010]

Cuevas breaks 4-3

 

[Tennis wizard]

what a clown

 

[tennisfan2010]

Tomic about to be 0-2 since his Shanghai run, where he said he was playing top 8 tennis.

 

[ArcspacE]

Come on, Pablo !!

 

[Tennis wizard]

wtf was that cuevas goating

 

[Pagoo]

Wow! Aussies messing up big time in Valencia. Shocking.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Match point. And it's done.
I posted weeks ago saying Tomic should have skipped Stockholm and Valencia. lol. thanks for winning me $20 Cuevas and Tomic!

 

[Tennis wizard]

Rip tomic

 

[tennisfan2010]

Cuevas wins 6-4

Tomic about to be 0-2 since his Shanghai run, where he said he was playing top 8 tennis.

May be he was referring to table tennis?

to be fair tomic did play top 8 tennis for a few days but since than he has reverted back to top 50 tennis, the dude needs to learn how to volly

Guess Tomic taking week off after all.

[Aussie Darcy]

2013 and 2012. Come on man this is embarrassing Do better.

 

[Meles]

Rublev breaks! Up 2-1 over Granola!

 

[NaBUru38]

Cuevas isn't great outside of clay, so Tomic should win that match if it happens.

Well, Cuevas now has beaten Berdych, Karlovic and Tomic on hard courts this month, so...

Lookout world!

 

[Meles]

Granola trying to give Rublev lecture on facts of life on ATP tour:

But it's not working.. Rublev broken again.

 

[Meles]

And Rublev schools Granola in the first set. Finished in style with slam past the hapless Granola who is beginning to understand that the world is changing.

 

[Meles]

Getting ugly for Granola; Rublev breaks first game of second set!
Granola down a set and a break.

Granola won 19% of his second serve points, teaching everyone a lesson.

 

[Pablo1989]

Rublev is the best teenager for sure. He is the future of tennis.

 

[Meles]

I agree:

[Meles]

Rublev squashes a Spaniard in Valencia! 6-4, 6-4

 

[rainingaces]

That's a very good win for Rublev, not one I saw coming, maybe his best this year on a court that's not perfect for his game.

Granollers a former Valencia champion dumped out in R1.

Rublev won the doubles at the Kremlin Cup with Tursanov. He may be ready to roll. I pulled back on picking him in the Power Play, but glad to see him breaking through. Fognini Zverev winner up next.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I see Ferrer withdrew. Ug, wish Tomic won his match. Would have been such a good opportunity. Didn't get to post last night as I was completing a 7000 word assignment due today. Hopefully he turns it round next week in Paris. He's currently 1 spot off being seeded thanks to the withdrawal of Raonic. Hopefully one more player withdraws.

My bad. RBA up next!

 

[Aesthetics_above_all_else]

Wow. Watching Brands (against Montanes) and the guy is for real. Main thing I notice is he is super solid, never feels like he's going to miss or make unforced errors. He's smart and has plenty of power along with GREAT touch at the net.

Now I can see why he beat Kyrgios

 

[Meles]

M. Zverev still owns Fognini 6-2, 7-6 despite serious mto late in second in middle of game.

 

[Meles]

The psychotic Rublev making an RBA match entertaining. On serve, Rublev 1-2

 

[Meles]

Johnson has established ownership of F Lopez with 2nd straight win over Feliciano on hard courts.

 

[Meles]

RBA breaks, up 4-2 over the disconsolate Rublev.

 

[Meles]

RBA has beens schooling Rublev with well placed first serving and solid returning that has had Rublev under pressure the whole match. RBA has been able to dictate play with his great court coverage and solid groundies. RBA save 3 break points in the last game with Ace, run-around forehand down the line, and another near Ace. Finished off Rublev with lob. Rublev serving 2-6, 2-5

 

[JRAJ1988]

Daniel Brands is in the Quarters, I still think RBA, Johnson or Garcia Lopez can win the title...though without the Spanish Terrier the field is wide open.

Never seen Brands play, but based on head to head he could go all the way on this one. Brands, RBA, & Johnson seem to have the hot hand.
