Igor Andreev d. Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-7 6-1 6-4

Igor :D :) good comeback :worship: :devil:

now go and blow Piggy's house down tomorrow :devil: :angel:

Igor :woohoo:

great first set, one way in the second and a battle in the third. both came up with stunning shots and i must say, andreev still is a damn versatile player: good backhand, brilliant forehand at times, moves pretty well again and should definitely survive a couple of rounds at rg. his ranking is gonna go up this year, i'm sure. good to see him completely recovered.

anyways: sad for our guy kohli, he really could have made an impact this time in hamburg.

Andreev is too solid.


This Andreev is good.

Igor :D :) good comeback :worship: :devil:

now go and blow Piggy's house down tomorrow :devil: :angel:

Ok mr Wta world.com...

Great job by Andreev!

Phillip didn't play bad at all, but in the end the better player deservedly won.

Decent match. Andreev, as we all know, was the last man to beat Nadal on clay. Now they will meet in R3, should be a good watch.

How can you simply dismiss Der Kaiser Hernandez?

Andreev is too solid.


This Andreev is good.

He looks great, but assuming Nadal beats Oscar, how do you think Igor can handle Nadal. What weapons of Igor can actually frustrate Nadal? I think if anything, it's Igor's awesome inside-out forehand and solid serve that will give him a chance. If Nadal wasn't in Igor's draw, I would have been satisfied with Igor reaching the final and then being beat by Nadal. :) IF Nadal beats Oscar, then I hope between him and Igor the best man wins.

I'm taking a big risk. :D

I hope for a good match too. :D

Well done Igor! :yeah:

lucky one, igor

lucky one, igor

lucky? :rolleyes: if he didnt choke he would destroy Kohlschreiber in easy 2 sets. Something like 63 61 :rolleyes:

Why are you asking me this? I'm not saying Igor will do it. The fact is Igor was the last one who defeated Nadal on clay. He's a natural claycourter, very aggressive and his forehand is heavy as hell. He won't be bothered much by the moonballing on the backhand, also.

I'm taking a big risk. :D

You're a gambler, mate. :D

Not a good one, at the moment. :o

It's still time to quit the bet, mate. :p

It's been a shite few days since Sunday, you know God (not that there is one) is not smiling on you when Ben Wallace is hitting free throws with his eyes closed and Andy Murray gets a bad injury while he is delivering a spanking.

Tell me about it.

Tell me about it.

TT?

TT?

Yeah. Soderling 6/1 3/1 and Murray 5/1.

Serves you right for picking Soderling over Warrior Ferrer. :p

I love moonballing. haha Like I said, I think the best man will win. Even when Nadal's not playing well, he can usually pull through. But I'd prefer Igor to win. Plus, it's not like Nadal is defending a title. :rolleyes: Nadal will be quite okay if he loses.

Serves you right for picking Soderling over Warrior Ferrer. :p

4-0 H2H. ;)

Igor :D

but Philipp :sad:

Philipp :sad:

Hopefully his little run of good form will continue...

Igor :woohoo:

Igor on clay :rocker2: his forehand :hearts:

igor going to bitch slap nadal all over hamburg tomorrow

Kohlschreiber has won 10 of the last 11 tie-breaks.

Too bad for Kohl but I'm liking his form those past few weeks.
Igor's inside-out forehand is BRILLIANT! Reagrdless of what happens tomorrow, we all know it's going to be one hell of a match. Looking forward to it.

nice one igor. 2 wins in a row is a rare achievement this season
