NewHavenR2: Gabashvili defeats Malisse 4-2r.

what happened?

Oh no, hopefully it's nothing serious. He could have a good US Open if healthy. But good for Gaba that he makes the 3rd round of an ATP event.

malisse has had a very good last two months, many wins and loads of tennis.

hope he is ready to cause some upsets next week.

Anyone know what happened?

Gabashvili brings Malisse bad luck.

I have a bad feeling about that.

Malisse hurt his ankle during practise in New Haven. It's not sure he'll get ready for the US Open... :sad:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They just released a new article in Dutch.

"I twisted my ankle on Saturday during practise. I tried to play on Tuesday, but I still had too much pain. I didn't want to risk making it worse and decided to retire. But no worries, I'll definitely go to New York."

yey! good luck in the US Open Xman!
