For us, doesn't quite matter though as we'll be lucky if we get to see the Final somewhere :lol: , cause in the last years , not even the final was publicly streamed / televised
I was there for this entire match. It was pretty entertaining tennis, with Peya playing by far the best out of all four players. He had some incredible returns and was playing well all around. Petzschner and Murray were very flashy, with both shanking the ball quite a few times as well; Petzschner hit a lot of balls off the frame, whereas Murray just sent balls very long or wide. Petzschner is also mostly responsible for the near-choke. Nestor was invisible, which was both good and bad; it was good because he was very dependable, but bad because he couldn't make the difference.
Also saw the terrible match between Inglot/Lindstedt and Draganja/Rosol. Not sure if Draganja/Rosol will be pairing up again, because Draganja was really disastrously bad and Rosol wasn't amused.
Mahut/Pospisil played pretty well to dispatch Seppi/Sousa. Rojer/Tecau played really well in the first set against GGL/Troicki. I presume they continued like that in the second set, but I was watching Chardy and Zverev do a practice set.
The Bryans lost to Krajicek/Monroe 12-10 in the third set tiebreaker.
Unfortunately for me, Mirnyi/Huey also lost to Fritz/Harrison. I know Fritz is a great young talent, but a loss like this is still completely unacceptable. With the draw they had, a semifinal appearance was mandatory.
Will be interesting to see later how Dlouhy/Paes can perform. Both need points and they face Marach and the servebot Martin. Losing to a player like Martin should hurt Paes' pride.
Watching Dlouhy/Sergiy Stakhovsky playing against Wesley Koolhof/Matwe Middelkoop. Why hasn't Dlouhy made such an impact, lately? He is a grandslam champion, and hasn't been pto the expectation after is partnership with Leander Paes.
Not long before i said this in the other topic. Will be nice to see them together. Dlouhy still has some good part in the game. At what time is their next match?
I believe this is only the third semifinal ever in a 500 event for Petzschner (since 2009). Winning Rotterdam in 2011 was the only good one in all those years. Quite a terrible stat, just like the 10-18 record at 1000s, compared to the 43-25 at slams.
