I know about this link, but this link feature doesn't give the winner to unforced error count.

I hope you're good with predictions :)

LOL,no I'm not very good at predictions cause most of the time I vote for who I want to win rather than who I think objectively has the most chance and since Mario has been one of my favourite players on tour for a long time now I'll keep picking him for the title,he's bound to win sometime(I think the last time he won a title was in 2006,I think in Hertogenbosch on grass were he defended his title there from 2005).
 
Fifth-seeded German Rainer Schuettler also made a strong start to his campaign, allowing Australian Chris Guccione just three games as he raced to a 6-0, 6-3 victory 54 minutes.

WTF!!!??? He broke Guccione's serve on an indoor court 3 times in a single set!!??

God damn!!!

Great Comeback win, wouldn't you say. :-):-)
Click to expand...

he couldnt ask for more... almost 2 years out of the tour and a win over a guy in top 100!

ask that to coria. he made his comeback like 6 months ago and the guy is still loosing....
 
20 aces, no double faults, 75% 1st serve... that's unplayable, don't care who you are... he keeps serving like that and it's gonna be hard to stop him, maybe match fitness will come into it though.

Ouch, Nalbandian next... well, stranger things have happened.

How's Nalbandian's belly anyway? does it look like he's been putting away a lot of Quilmes lately?

Yip a straight sets win over a dangerous player. That'll boost his confidence right up!

LOL, nice Quilmes comment there... good one :lol:
 
Fantastic win for Pim-Pim. I was going to put Nalbandian on my fantasy team until I saw Pim-Pim on his side of the draw. Too bad I couldn't put JJ on my fantasy team.
 
Great win for JJ. Back on tour after a long lay off and to able to get a win. Best of luck to him
 
Bellucci takes the 1st set against Nieminen... i saw Bellucci play his 1st round match at RG against Rafa and i was very impressed. Guy has a huge game. i hope he does well here, he's due a good run at tour level event...

Bellucci has been losing a lot of early rounds since RG hope he can pull it all together sometime in the future.
 
I as well saw his big match with Nadal at RG. He looked very good but he hasn't been able to piece it together lately. But will have a breakout year (alla Juan Marin Del Potro),

Nishikori advances to 3rd round by defeating Hrbaty 61 16 75. A very deserving wild card entry.
Click to expand...


For sure. But apparently he's not in his best physical condition now suffering from a cold and some knee pain, so it wouldn't be entirely a bad thing if he loses any one of his next matches. Wouldn't want him to be another pim-pim in terms of injuries because he's fun to watch.
 
Nalbandian is on song. Two quick and convincing match wins. I Didn't get to watch it. How did he play? Was JJ rusty?

But is he in-form?
He had good wins at Queen's, Olympics, US Open before falling miserably in the next rounds.

it's exactly like you said: an in-form nalbo comes by single matches, not by weeks...

I liked the use of "miserably". I cant find a better word.

The bagel from Djoko at Queen's was a shocker that I never understood how it happened. Funny thing is Djoko then managed to lose the title when he was clearly the better player of the tournament.

What's the problem now with him now? Some injury? He just can't put together a healthy year since 2006(even then he had an accident and had to miss USO).

According to Rosengren's blog, he was running a fever from day one, but the doctors said it's OK to play (:confused:). He was at the net all the time on both his and opponents serve to keep the points and matches shorter, hoping to get better by resting meanwhile. I really hope it's just a cold/flu and nothing more serious so that he can at least play the last masters and St Petersburg, even if he has to skip Madrid.

It's a shame Ancic had to withdraw was he ever injury free for 6 month even?

Good news is its gonna be possibly a Fat Dave vs Baby Federer (kei) final!

I know right, the guy can't seem to catch a break. I don't think it's nothing too serious that would keep him out for an extended period.

Now, I may have missed this but Kei Nishikori is being crowned the baby Federer? :?

Even if it's just a flu,I don't think there's a chance that he'll play Madrid as it begins soon.Hope to see him healthy in Paris,he really has bad luck with health for the last 2 years,it's just terrible.I think if he only got to be healthy for a whole year he would return to top 10 no problem,maybe even get to TMC(he was close in 2006 but lost that final to Bagdathis or something)for the first time.
