Rotterdam R1: Karol Beck def. Petzschner 7-6(8-6), 6-3

this is a pretty pathetic result for picasso considering karol has been losing to literally anyone and barely winning sets this year in main draws

Kinda sad for Petz... I thought he would go far tihs week.

no hope for anybody who loses to Beck at this moment

Picasso choked again, had several break points and set points in the opening set...

Picasso FFS! :o Unbelievable :mad:

Vintage Picasso here :facepalm:.

i know it's impossible to expect/predict anything involving petz, but seriously phil, win some (singles) matches at somepoint in the next 12 years.

Petz is like Llodra playing singles 4fun.

Petz is in poor form, and his terrible attitude does not help. His match against Raonic at the Aussie Open was an excellent example, had many opportunities but was awful mentally, prone to terrible errors.

No stream for this one, but both seemed pretty comfortable on serve in the first, with Beck creating the first breakpoint opportunity. Petz stll held. Beck was serving at *4-5. Petz had 3 sps, which Beck saved. Petz went up 6-4* in the TB. Lost 3 points in a row, and therefore wasted 5 sps in the first set.

Petz had triple break point in the first game of the 2nd set, and Beck won 5 points in a row to hold. Petz was destined to lose from there.

First ATP main draw win in 10 matches for Beck. Last ATP event win was in Johannesburg last year. Though he got a couple of Slam wins.

Ajde result.
