R1 : Lapentti - Tipsarevic 6:4 4:6 6:1 7:6 . 3h41m

As always, Nico prefers to do it the hard way. Glad he finished this match today, so the schedule was almost done (Isner-Chela was postponed)

Typical Nico :hatoff:
Janko had two setpoints in the tie-break.

Quicker than I expected! :lol:

no 5 setter :eek:

nico :yeah:

God damn it Janko.

Leveled up in the 4th, only to blow the TB.:mad:

why simple when it's also possible the complicated way? :)

tipsarevic had his chances in the last set ...

expected one

Well done Nico!! Now a great chance to go deep into the tournament!! :worship::worship:

Would of been nice to see a fifth set, and Tipsy messed up with 2 set points after making a nice comeback in the 4th, waste.

Nico choked a bit, served the match @ 5:4 and lost all points on serve then, Janko had nice chances of winning the TB, but didn't deliver

good fight from Tipsy in the 4th. saved a heap of virtual mp's at 2-4.

should have been the 5 setter I expected

Yes, take your always growling snarling moody faces somewhere else Tipsarevic

:wavey:

Nico :dance: well done

Allez Nico :bounce:

Really I love Nico game style, he is a jewel on tour, and today my heart feels so sad because Guga says good bye :sad: , but when I see Nico fighting, with his impressive backhand and slices, I feel really good and comfy :worship:

Old rockers never die! :rocker2::music::rocker:

Great. Lapenti won, Tipsarevic lost - equals like two reasons to be happy.

I can't stand Tipsarevic since he was started to play 'Orange Balls'.

Well done Nico!! :bigclap:

Why no 5 sets :shrug:

Enjoyable match to watch, a bit shorter than expected. Good win for Lapentti, he had too much clay nous compared to Tipsarevic.

good riddance Janko:wavey:

good job Nico:yeah:

:sad:

Deserved win for Lapentti...

Janko choked in the tie break, should have won but did not play well enough. Other than that - typical

q fantastico!:rocker2:
now his draw opens, I have hopes for the 3rd round...

Janko:sad:

Lapentti :worship:

Hehe typical Lapentti match!!! Vamos Nico :woohoo:

It was expected that this one will be tricky match.

:(

what a rollercoaster this Tipsy, you never know with him :retard:

Nico :worship:

Aww Tipsy - and you were seeded too. Amazing you managed it after last night's great performance at Eurovision though...

Janko :sad:

Good lord, he does seem to always fall at the brink of something great (seeding in major tourny in this cases) doesn't he? Good player but sheesh!!!
Herdwick- did he really play after a Eurovision performance last night(wtf?!)

This is a terrific win for Nico! :banana: I had expected Tipsarevic would win.

Shame for Tipsy. Had high hopes for him at Roland Garros - including another win over Blake to make the 4th round, but :shrugs:

Nice win Nico :yeah:

Janko :tape:

I just can't make my mind about Tipsarevic. I never know what to expect.:confused:

Pfff! Janko! You had such a good draw and to top it all, you beat Lapentti about 2 weeks ago!:rolleyes:

shows that Nico learned his lesson. :)

Well done Nico, good to see there is a place for slice backhands, dropshots and lobs.

Take advantage of it Nico.

Good lord, he does seem to always fall at the brink of something great (seeding in major tourny in this cases) doesn't he? Good player but sheesh!!!
Herdwick- did he really play after a Eurovision performance last night(wtf?!)

Sure - it was a command performance because he won it last year ;)

shows that Nico learned his lesson. :)

I'd watched again last night. Both Nico and Tipsy were bad as hell. But, I've noticed something else - in 4rd Lapenti started to spit, and spit, and spit....nose 'job' than spit, and spit....nose job and spit...

I like this guy but this was grooose.
