Youzhny def. Devilder 6:0 6:1 6:2

Another player tries to send a warning, even though Devilder is not a high quality guy the scoreline does make an impression. Could be even better without these breaks :haha:

Easy job Misha! :yeah:

Well done to Misha. That sounded embarrasingly easy, but that suits me :).
2 out of the 3 games that Devilder won were service breaks. In the 10 games on his own serve, he only held once.

How many times did Devilder hold serve? Once?

Youzhny ~~ :bigclap:

Teehee, well done, Colonel Misha! :hatoff:

Couldn't see the match, looking at that impressive scoreline, did he play that well or was Devilder completely OFF?

What a scoreline! Congrats Misha. :yeah:

:armed: Awesome news Colonel!

well done. that's what I like to see

good start :yeah:

An absolute thrashing

Hmm, the scoreline suggests that Devilder might have had a chance if it was best of 17.

^^ :lol:

Mikhail obviously needs to defend his semi-final points from last year, so he is just going for it here. Impressive win. Only three games lost. :eek:

:tape:

Nicolas :confused: :hug:

Misha :rocker2:
Waiting for a report from Leo :secret:

But two of these on his own serve. What do you make out of it, on a fast court? How can you get broken 2 times if you are able to break your opponent 9 times, and have a decent serve? I just don't understand :shrug:

Impressive Misha :yeah:

I didn't see the match so I don't know about this specific case, but it's possible that you just go for broke on your service games when you have a big lead and don't really care that you might end up losing some if you know you're winning basically all rallies irrespective of whose serve it is anyway. I mean, getting broken at 6-0, 5*-0 or something like that is not really telling of anything, because it's not like you're really going to fight for that game if you go down 0-30 or 0-40 or the like. As I said, I don't know what happened in this particular match nad whether this reasoning applies, but I'm sure you're getting the point I'm trying to convey.

devilder is out of his depth

Nicolas :help: Three games :help:

He can do much better than this.

Woo well done Mikhail :)

Hope to hear how Misha played. He has some major points to defend here.

Does anyone know the status of his back?

Youzhny loses three games, two on his serve. :haha:

Hopefully he can defend most of his points.

It was really fun to finally see Misha's game in-person. It seemed like 99/100 of the shots he hit today were just perfect for the situations.

Now that's an ass kicking

He kicked Robredo ass pretty similar to this match last year in this same tournament :lol:

Yay Youzhny, what a convincing scoreline :yippee:

Any match reports yet???

Fantastic. Everyone loves Misha :D

Fantastic. Everyone loves Misha :D

:rocker2:

Congrats, Misha !!! :rocker2:
