:yawn:

El Amrani :yeah:

:yawn:

El Amrani :yeah:



it's quite like this year's US Open, top4 at semis (Murray will be #4 in next ranking). :p
Too bad Vukovic beat the seed#5 in first round, we could have the 8 top players at quarterfinals :p

and yes, vamos El Amrani :rocker2:

Final

Alessandro ACCARDO (ITA) (4) Vs Reda EL AMRANI (MAR) (3)

woooooohoooooo Reda :yeah:

:rocker:

Final

Reda EL AMRANI (MAR) (3) defeated Alessandro ACCARDO (ITA) (4) 1-6 7-5 6-0

Accardo missed a good chance. He was 61 54 and serve. Both players were very nervous (got a warning for "racket abuse"..El Amrani played a shot with an half of racket because he had broken it, but not changed to avoid a warning ).
El Amrani is a "classical" player (one handed backhand etc.), while Accardo (famous in Italy for an unexpected victory over n.1 Roddick in Italian Open jr 2000) is a good baseline player (but he lacks of power and he hasn't a "killer" shot)
