Thx for the draw Milan, it could have been easier but anyway GO NOLE vs Youzhny :)

It's not an AWFUL draw :D Ajde!!

What! I hate it. IF he can beat Youzhny it will be Santoro. And Novak has never played that tricky old man.

Youzhny?:eek: Oh my God!I don't like it:(
Ajde Nole

Nole is also playing the double with fellow countryman Tipsy:

1st round: HERNYCH, Jan CZE/YOUZHNY, Mikhail RUS vs DJOKOVIC, Novak SRB/TIPSAREVIC, Janko SRB

Go Nole :banana: Go Nole :banana:

so he'll play twice vs Misha :lol:

It's a really bad draw. Youzhny is playing really well. :(

why the sudden misha-nole love for the draw people? :ras:

MONDAY at 19.00 CET:

DJOKOVIC vs. YOUZNHY

LiVE at Serbian TV Avala!

:awww:
it was a close match :hug:

:smash: :fiery: :timebomb:

too bad but it was a tight match against a tough opponent and not much dammage to his rank

:sad:

I wouldn't say it's a horrible loss but it's disappointing considering his lead in the third.

:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

It was so close!What's wrong with him?He was leading 4:1 in third set:mad:
I was really sad after the match,But now I'm mad,and I'm still :sad:

That describes my feelings also. Before the match I actually thought Youzhny would win, but it's very dissapointing to lose the lead in the final set like that.

Hopefully Novak will enjoy his doubles (I thought Janko would win a couple of matches, too), and be good to go in Rotterdam.

Djokovic/Tipsarevic-Youzhny/Hernych 6:3 1:2:yeah:

Go Nole/Janko
I hope that they will win this match!

Djokovic/Tipsarevic-Youzhny/Hernych 6:3 6:4:woohoo:

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

At least he won the doubles. :)

didn't know how bad the scoreline actually was (especially the 3rd set) :scared: but at least there's the dubs :D

This is true. 'Cause Novak didn't make the Rome main draw, he's carrying one extra tournament that will be replaced by this year's Rome. His five optionals will then be...

1. Adelaide 175
2. Metz 175
3. Amersfoort 175
4. Umag 120
5.????

He just needs one good result in the springtime. Anything more than that would be back-up for Amersfoort and Umag.

The top 3 seeds all lost. Novak totally could have won this tournament. Now Gasquet or Baghdatis would have to be the favorite.

Don't forget Söderling... Anyway. I was really disappointed by this early loss too even if i kind of expected him to lose to an in form Youzhny but not like that...

Let's hope some of the people who are going to Marseille will bring us a few pics of him and Tipsy...

Meh.
