Madrid R2: JMDP gives Colonel Youzhny his marching orders 6-4, 7-6(1)

Delpo had a break lead in the second, gave it back at 3-2, but got it back at 5-5. Youzhny Verdascoed on BP at 5-5. Delpo gave it back again.

Another Delpo-Cilic game next.

this lack of filo v threads is refreshing

colonel losing, however, is not. Good fight as always anyway.

It seems Del Potro has rediscovered a pattern to win tie-breaks (6-1 since Indian Wells). It would be nice if he added another one tomorrow against Cilic.

for me , delpo will never back to his 2009 performance.....

what happen with his forehand and serve?????

his forehand has power but he needs more angles!!!!

good fight colonel!

It's tough to create angles with his grip :o And his serve is solid, 70%, 6 aces today, nothing to complain.

There were some great points by Colonel every now and then. Youzhny I think has the second most beautiful game on the tour.

But it wasn't enough. This Del Potro is simply too consistent.

Youzhny led 1-0 in the tiebreaker :spit:

What an incredible choke:rolleyes:

the 2nd set come back was still great. good luck in Roma, Misha!

Mughail Youzhless belongs in a circus, not on a tennis court. Losing to a brainless ballbasher like Mug Potro only further proves my point.

No lifer proves yet again why he has the smallest brain in MTF. :lol:


Same old, same old.

Happy that you say that : I think the same (well I'm torn with Nalbandian) and especially yesterday :)

And his backhand is clearly my favourite one-handed backhand : I prefer it to Gasquet's personally, especially as Gasquet's slice is not beautiful like Youzhny's and I love the way Youzhny can make a flat or sliced backhand from the same start of the preparation.

But it wasn't enough. This Del Potro is simply too consistent.

True, but Youzhny also made too many errors, esp. on big points, yesterday.

Anyway, another beautiful match on court 1 for me :shrug:

What an incredible choke:rolleyes:

look at the score, moron :superlol:

misha is sure to watch, but he doesn't have the consistent weight of shot anymore.

Juan :) :yeah:
