Mathieu said it was really hot... even hotter than last week in Bangkok! He might have had a problem with it.

Or... he was still tired from the walk I put him through two days ago :bolt:

I think this is the second solution !

lol would be hard for Guccione to have lost ;)

against Prpic it's going to be more difficult, this Prpic is tricky :shrug: brought Sirianni down without a trouble

lol would be hard for Guccione to have lost ;)

against Prpic it's going to be more difficult, this Prpic is tricky :shrug: brought Sirianni down without a trouble

I really hope Prpic will win but I think that Guccione will win that match. 6-4 6-4 or so :) Like ToJo says, Prpic has the game for top 50 soo you´ll never know :scared:

Yeah Prpic gets good results like 2-3 times a year :o. His chance will be that Guccione has been lately dreadful, he even lost to Qureshi :lol:

1-BECK, Andreas GER d. LEVY, Harel ISR 62 61

RAM, Rajeev USA d. KUDRY AVTSEV, Alexandre RUS 75 63


WOW, excellent results, 3 from 3 :)

Good job Noam!!!
Too bad about Harel, should've given a better fight... had a weird win in the 1st round too, loosing the 2nd set 1:6... I hope they will do well in the doubles together at least...

what an enigma this ram is.

Okun/Levy won 6-2 6-2 in 1st round doubles.

OOP for Thursday - http://www.atpworldtour.com/tennis/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=/1/posting/2009/5051/op.pdf (http://www.atpworldtour.com/tennis/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=/1/posting/2009/5051/op.pdf)

It was obvious Harel wasn't going anywhere good after that weird 1st match :o Beck defends points for Sarajevo from last year, maybe he is also motivated.

Okun should go way long on this tournament..
his draw is very open, Ram in QF, and then surely in SF Beck, who lost to noam last week in 2 sets.

Order Of Play- Thursday:

http://www.atpworldtour.com/tennis/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=/1/posting/2009/5051/op.pdf

Come On Qureshi/Bopanna!!

Yeah Prpic gets good results like 2-3 times a year :o. His chance will be that Guccione has been lately dreadful, he even lost to Qureshi :lol:

Gooch is just fattening his odds for a while... dont look too deep into the results dearest...

Noam! :confused:
such a shame...

what about the doubles semi-finals results?

was raining.

Since when turkish players can play tennis? But they do a lot of good work now there in turkey even in girls.

Prpic is a wonder! But the funny thing is: After this tournament he will lose so many 1st rounders...:))

very tight matches today

Prpic is such a journeyman..:)

Prpic! What an week for him, hopefully he will not lose every first rounders in the upcoming weeks, but we all now Prpic, that´s his thing.

Are you sure exactly about that score? Our bookie gives 62 26 64.

lol....the sb is not important or?? Beck has won and thats all or?

For me it's question to win or lose my bet. I bet +2.5 Ram, so 62 46 64 i lost (4 games difference), 62 26 64 i win (2 games difference)

okay...than i understand!

ATp drawsheet gives 62 26 64! I win :) And jirobkk made mistake.

Prpic, he will win this! If soo he will go from his rank 328 to around 260-65

Impressive scores soo far:

Sirianni 6-2 6-2
Guccione 6-4 6-4
Van Der Merwe 6-2 6-4
Ilhan 6-1 6-4

Good luck in the final Filip!

Aisam and Bopanna have won the title by beating raitwana brothers in final

Prpic is better then his rankings show. He was constantly between 200 and 300....has fallen off a little bit. But he is still only a journeyman...to much talent for giving up but too less talent for going really far, Top 100 or so...never will reach.

Thanks for the scores. Filip :yeah:

Qureshi/Bopanna 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 10-5!!

Qureeshi's 2nd title in 3 weeks and a semi finalist!!

Good 3 weeks for Qureshi!!

Beck 75 63 :worship::worship::worship:

Well done this week Filip! :wavey:

jawoll Andi :yeah:
