Marsel was better player but serve-bot won.

Yes, while the man with no backhand is a real asset to the tour. Neither played well, but no way was Ilhan a better player.

Balls of steel.

Incredible indoor tennis from Dodig :worship:

Ilhan enjoying january and february it seems.

Ilhan has Kafelnikov's serve and forehand motion

Dodig has heart big like Mount Everest . Shame God didn't give him more talent

Kafelnikov is his idol. :)

Dodig beating somebody? now that's a surprise

Kafelnikov is his idol. :)

I didn't know that . I watched him for the first time today and these two shots are like copies of Kafelnikov . But his backhand is nautical miles from Yevgeny's . Actually can't be much worse :lol:

BTW, Marsel slept 17 hours last night, had high fever and got cold, plus had a little injury on his arm. After all, this is a quite good fight. Dodig should get much better if he wants to defend his title.

Ilhan fans :hug: :hug: Yes, I also think he played better but impossible to break this guy in this tournament.

i touched dodig's bollocks once and by the weight of them they seemed to be cast from some sort of alloy... i could be wrong, could well have passed for granite...
