An achievement nonetheless. Back in 2005 he was in his theoretical prime. Plus he's a good chance to go above 20th before the end of the year. Lopez has the kind of game that will serve him well in his early 30s.
There was some guy many years back who said that Lopez has the potential to win Wimbledon or something. I don't get what he saw in Lopez to say such a thing? The only thing that pops to mind, is his serving ability and his SV game in general. However, his backhand, was nearly absent. All he could do with it was slice and he was bad at that, but good enough to upset Roddick which shows how pathetic Roddick is. However, this year, I heard he's reduced the slicing, and now he's trying to actually implement a true 1 handed backhand.
Feli has improved a lot since he dropped his old coach and hired Beresutegui. It's honestly somewhat hilarious that a guy whose game is most suited to grass and faster courts is being coached by a former clay specialist who played something like two grass matches his entire career.
Well, whatever Alberto B is doing for Feli, it's working. Congrats Feli
Yungos is making the point that Lopez is a fantastic claycourter. Yungos just said that Lopez played out one of the matches of the year in Madrid against Roger Federer. Yungos notes that the match featured three tie-breakers
:bigcry: I WANTED LOPEZ TO WIN THAT MADRID MATCH SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD I WAS CHEERING THE HELL OUTTA HIM, HE HAD FED IN HIS ROPES HE OUT SERVED HIM AND OUTPLAYED HIM THROUGHOUT, I WAS HEARTBROKEN WHEN HE LOST THAT 5-2 LEAD IN THE THIRD SET TIEBREAK BECAUSE OF THAT MISSED OVERHEAD
THAT SHOULD BE THE MATCH OF THE YEAR TBH, EVEN THO ITS A THREE-SETTER IT FELT LIKE A FIVE-SETTER
Lawrence thinks it's a fail thread. Lawrence thinks Lopez deserves better than top 20. Lawrence thinks it's a sunny day. Lawrence thinks it's.....
wait
