Brzezicki and Alund OK!! :)

Pless and Malisse :unsure: Do they realize this is played on clay :unsure:
Malisse will normally play Caltanissetta, Barletta, Napoli and Monza to be fully prepared for the French Open. :p :)

I was hoping that David Marrero stayed in Morocco, but I guess this was the best way to be for sure in a MD

Wild cards to Tomas Tenconi, Daniele Bracciali, Adrian Mannarino and Davide Sanguinetti(?????)

Difficult win, but a win still is a win especially on clay for Adrian ! Good fight this time.
Next round probably Ascione who defeated him at Besançon :scared:

Middelkoop has not held 1 service game

Middelkoop must be the worst tennis player to ever grace the earth

with matwe its all or nothing, guess it's not his day. Not my fav.

Thiemo wins against Bracciali :):)

Hopefully he go far here .

Davide :eek: :clap2:

also great result from Aldi ;) coming from a difficult qualifying ooo.

Well done Davide but also well done David (Marrero)

Sanguinetti :haha: Too funny :D

Janowicz not so funny unfortunately. Again an unlucky draw and even a less fortunate result. Mannarino should be happy he doesn't play Ascione in the next round but then again, this Belgian must have some shape as he beat Ascione. But I still imagine Janowicz as a bigger threat than Desein :unsure:

Thiemo can go deep in this tournament...
Jesse? I don't know, i hope so...
And two shite results from Nick and Matwe.
With that draw we could have 4 dutchies in the second round :(

First ranking points for Flock this year. :o

Naso must be a shitty player; I mean when you see you have Flock as your opponent you must be going crazy of happiness..

Losing to Flock, takes some talent to do that...

:cuckoo: You don't know Flock.

:cuckoo: You don't know Flock.

the guy is almost 26 years old, has been arround(off and on) since 2000, his best wins are in his early career against Devilder,Munoz Delanava and Ounna, recently in some kazakh ch against Puerta or a fluke win against Andujar, he got trashed by a doubles specialist Fyrstenberg, a fluke run in Brasov last year was his best ever tournament...

whenever I see Flock playing in a Ch, if the opponent is at least a semi-pro CH player, that is a big bet for me...

Got lucky NAso was an utter mug last week, so skipped him yesterday, but the tall italian obviously can only serve, which weird for a claycourter...

Malisse fuse blown

X-man did not need such a start to the second set, pathetic Malisse, just apthetic...

What the **** is Xavier doing in that second set :(

Once the fuse is blown he normally goes ape shit.

This could end very quickly now, an array of errors to gift blaz the match.

I can imagine he got so annoyed by a few bad calls... and before you know it, the set is gone...
Com'on Xavier, focus again please

Any live stream?

Xman 6/3,3/6*1/0

keep your shit together Xavier, what a waste of talent...

Malisse 6/3,3/6,6/1 after a strugglle at the beginning of the third he made it...

well played malisse, didnt expect it, thought he might tank in the third.

i am so tempted by this unknown desien fella who owend ascionie yesterday but i will not budge on this one.

That was a wrong score. You already posted during the second set Flock *4-3 and then deleted the post. Please don't do the jinxing posts here, at least not by posting wrong scores.

Flock double faulted twice at 3-2 in the tb. :o

ATP NEED TO CORRECT THIS

Brzicki truly has been awful on serve today, has not producded 1 solid service game entire match

Stop Flocking It Up Flock

If you serve it out Juan Pablo i will send the atp a different e-mail:)

jpb Over Flock 5-7 7-6(7-3) 6-4

Looks like Flock choked in the tb with the 2 dfs in a row. But unexpected 3-0 and 4-2 lead in the third instead of a total collapse after this. Surprisingly he didn't choke against the Italian on Tuesday.

What is it with the comebacks today??

Galvani 2-6 6-3 0-0*

Meltdown From Alessio

Pff. It's long waiting for Thiemo match.

Never again alessio

galvani so so close

Brzezicki :banana:

Flock is coached by might Tomas Behrend, this is when he started to play real tennis like real jocks do :D

Bp Galvani

Alessio Has Been Torn To Shreds Final Set

hey, ivan, has BG left forum for forever? or what?

once in a while he has periods when he takes care of other things and is not around

but he'll be back, i'm quite sure

He has a wife :tape: Maybe Federer has been a pattern for him lately in these terms.

Crugnola *2-0

This isnt bracciali tim the baker

Crugnola 6-1

Jesus Thiemo, what are u doing!? :mad:

Crugnola top 100 this year

cRUGnola is an amazing player, very talented

No way in hell there is another comeback from a set down.

Crugnola in straights

Merrero came back from a set down 5-7 6-3 6-1
Brzicki came back from a set down 5-7 7-6 6-4
Galvani came back from a set down 2-6 6-3 6-3

Law of averages say Tim will not

I dont think i have ever seen it happen before in the same tournament in 1 day.

so it will not happen

Sorry tim you cant bt law.

6-1 1-6 *0-0

I have never seen it happen before in the same tournament so i guess gsm crugnola

No other result possible

6-1, 1-6 typical a Thiemo score. Everything or nothing.

double break!

seriously today has been one of the most eventfull days in my betting history.

I LOVE CHALLENGERS.

Rain seems to be the common theme this week :lol:

rain all day?

Great :rolleyes:

they have to start soo. There is just a light rain

On satellite cloud projection it looks like clouds are passing avay, but some more cluouds to come during the day... posiblly they'll play and interrupt, so it could be problem for someone with thin nerves...

So, they have to start soon, as far as I understand? At least, just to play the only some games)

Maybe they'll need some time to prepare the courts.

The names are on the scoreboard. Looks like they will start in a couple of minutes. ;)
