High time there is a thread for this renegade of Australian junior tennis. Made the junior AO Final this year, went AWOL in the middle of the season and has strung together some solid performances in the Futures series.

He is currently in Buenos Aires acting as the waterboy for the Aussie DC team, should be a great experience for him. Given the shocking lack of depth currently in the mens game in the country, hopes are pinned on Nicky to produce the goods.

Good chance for Nick to get a few wins in the Cremona challenger assuming he has recovered from his injury. Plays Pavlovs in first round who has been in ridiculously bad form of late and then wiull probably face Richard Bloomfield in the second round. If he were to get to QF he might find it tough against Chiudinelli though.

Good to see according to his ITF profile he is still coached by Professor M.Matosevic in the field of excellence. A shame he cant join his coach at FO qualies this week though.

Won his first round match in a close three setter. According to Spadea TT, Lindahl and his opponent Pavlovs, lacked continuity although both made several net approaches and Lindahl's passing shot was good. Plays Bloomfield who by the same reports was not good in his first round match. Definitely a winnable match for the curious and mysterious Nick Lindahl :lol: .

He won his second round match against Bloomfield 6-4 6-4. He will probably get knocked out by Chiudinelli in the next round although he had a tough match. Aparrently in the first set Chiudinelli wasn't happy with an umpire's decision so he sat down in the middle of the game and ate two bananas and then resumend play without a warning.

These are good results for Nick though. Perhaps him seeing Marinko do so well has really motivated him and shown him that success in alot of these challengers isn't that far away. He always seemed better or at least equal to MM until this year.

Nick has taken out Donald Young in the first round of an American challenger in two convincing sets. Faces Pavlovs in the second round who he beat last week in Italy. Same surface this week so shouldnt have too much trouble in the second round. Looks like hes on his way to a second consecutive challenger quarterfinal.

I guess he is finally starting to take this tennis thing seriously and I believe Marinko's latest efforts have had a big input as to why he is finally getting results.

Hes playing in another American challenger next week and after that I'm not sure where he is playing.

Easily won his second round match and is into the Quarters. Faces Yani who has been in alright form of late but I think Nick can definitely beat him. If he were to get through his SF should be an easier task. Could be a big week for him.

:woohoo: Nick is into the quarters after defeating Stoppini in straight sets. Either plays Suzuki or Im for a place in the semis.

Im could be difficult. H2H it is 3-1 in Im's favour although the two recent wins for Im was when Lindahl was in horrible form in the latter half of last year. Suzuki can be dangerous as well although his form this year up until he beat Kim in the first round wasn't flash. He did make the final of the Kyoto challenger but he had a path of mug opponents.

Hopefully he can put in a good show against whoever he has to play and grab a SF spot. Judging by his two recent wins he has a great chance to do so.

Great for Nick. Yani has been in awesome form of late although Lindahl hasn't been doing too bad either. It is great to see him playing some great tennis again after going through a rough form patch a while ago.

Great results so far. If Nick loses this match he'll go to about 282 in the rankings, if he wins this match and then loses then final he'll go to about 263 and if he wins the whole tournament he'll go to around 239 which would be great for him. Apparently Nick is the hot favorite for the tournament now.

Nick comfortably beat an in form Yani. Hopefully he can scrape into the US Open qualies draw and can consistently keep his game somewhere near this level.

Yeah I think it might even be his first final appearance in a challenger.

Thanks for the video.

It seems like he has been around for a while but he is still only 20 years old! QUOTE]

Yeah I was surprised by that as well. I thought he was more around 23 or 24 like Matosevic. If he can now keep this up and remain motivated he could definitely develop into a top 100 player.

Great result this week hopefully he takes out his first challenger title of his career tommorow. Probably the best thing to see in that video is him saying he is a lot more motivated now which is awesome.

It seems like he has been around for a while but he is still only 20 years old! Another plus about this week is given his results so far his ranking should be high enough to get him direct entry into the US Open qualifying tournament which looks like he could make a good run after this week.

Tommorows final will just come down to how focused Nick is and if he keeps telling himself just get one more shot back then Chris will be the one making the mistakes. GL kid your gonnna need it.
