Rome R1: Troicki def. De Bakker 3-6 6-1 1-0 ret.

What happened? :confused:

lol another bye for troicki..

Troicki's neverending luck strikes again

Troicki with his magic powers made another opponent injure himself and retire, that is what always happens with Troicki's opponents.

Perhaps overworked last night.

Tsonga can breath easily now.
Retiring isn't doing your future GOAT-status any good, Thiemo.

Right when you start to think maybe a guy has some potential..

:(

Did he get injured during the match?

Perhaps he was overwhelmed by expectations. Had to prove that last night`s victory was no fluke.

Thiemo must have been tired after some great weeks before.
Viktor. :D

De Bakker has an account at Twitter: http://twitter.com/thiemodebakker

"Had some problems with my groin! its not unbelieveble bad!"

pity when you are winning a match. Next is Davis Cup on Hardcourt, maybe wise not to play.

I've read some comments that De Bakker indeed took the upcoming DC match into account. BTW he has also commented that his groin injury/trouble is nothing really serious.

My advise tot Thiemo would be not to play davis cup on hardcourt now, but I guess that won't happen

Better luck some place else, Thiemo.

Smart not to risk injury, Thiemo just had the best week of his career, he deserves a little rest before playing for his home country in the Davis Cup.
