Doha R1: Korolev d. MVA 6-2 6-3

Solid first match by Korolev stat-wise. Too bad he has such a bad draw with Federer in the next round. But he could give him a tough time.

Expected one

what? fed next again? damn. well, at least it'll be broadcasted.

but yay for Zhenya! my favourite brainless ballbasher!

Great start Evgeny. :cool:

well done korolev, give it your best shot against fed.

How I wish he would win against Fed.

Not looking too good for Korolev.

Rogie beat him 6-2 6-3 6-1 in the 2nd round of the 2009 AO and also 6-3 6-2 in the QF of Basel 2009.

I honestly expect another straight sets victory for Rogie.

Nice start to the year :) Too bad it ends next match :lol:

Fed eats brainless ball machines for his breakfast:devil: That said I like this Korolev guy and wish he had an easier draw here...
