Hamburg 2005

Tim finally draws a rather easy opponent in the 1st round, unlike other high-ranked players. He plays Lars Burgsmuller in Hamburg. H2H is 2-1 for Tim, the lone loss came in this tournament in 2001.

Goodluck Tim!

Tim wins in straight sets! :yeah:

Up next for him is Greg Rusedski. H2H is 6-2 for Tim, but they have never played on clay. Their last match was at Dubai this year. It was a close match, 4-6 7-6 6-4.

Go Tim!

Tim vs Rusedski would normally be an intriguing match. Tim vs Rusedski on CLAY is even more so, and I can't wait. And Tim is probably the 'favourite', right?

Go Tim!

And Tim is probably the 'favourite', right?
in my book he is! :lol:

but is Rusedski any good on clay? I don't follow his career too much...

I'm not quite sure, but I heard he hadn't won a match on clay for a long time. Think years.
Just don't quote me on that!

well it's a 2nd round match, so at least he won a match on clay this year! :lol:

the match is way to early for me tomorrow. :sad: I won't get up at like 6 am to follow it.

Yeah, I know! Go Canada. And go Tim!

Tim def. Greg 7-6 6-4! :yeah:

Next up is Chela, H2H is 4-2 for Tim. Tim has won the last 3 comfortably without losing a set!

Go Tim!

Yay! My vbetting on Tim didn't make him lose...Though it might possibly have caused Greg to break in the first set...

Good luck against Chela, Tim :kiss:

3-6 6-4 6-2 to J.I. Chela :sad:

poor tim, sucks that he got pissed off about a call and fell apart. :sad: :hug:
