No offense, but just to tell you if you didn't notice, you are wishing luck for 5 out of 6 players playing in the exhibition... So i think you have pretty good odds that your favourites will do well... :) :)

Any scores???

Đoković ???:(

Melzer def. Becker 6-3 6-1
Myskina def. Bammer 4-6 7-5 10-6

I am happy for Jurgen and Myskina. Next Jurgen will play Stefan tomorrow. Hope he can continue winning and get to the finals and win. It would be good for him to have a wonderful ending to this year where he turned it all around and starting rising again in the rankings.

Wonder what a realistic goal for his ranking will be for next year? I have hopes for him to make it to the top 20 and then stay there.

Well, Melzer and Myskina still are together, contrary to some reports, they can't speak of Myskina on the website without mentioning "ihr Herzblatt Jürgen Melzer".

Pics of the player's party here too:

I made a mistake. Jurgen does not play Stefan until Friday.

Korolev def Djokovic in straights

Unbelievable.

Korolev 6/4 6/3 to be exact

Becker has back problems so Koubek played and show match against Kohlschreiber. Special K won 6-2 6-2. Koubek plays tommorow against Malzer, the winner is in the final.

Schnyder def. Grönefeld 7-6 (4) 6-4

3rd place: Bammer vs Grönefeld

Final: Schnyder vs Myskina

So Koubek didn't play against Becker ? He played against Kolschreiber?

Congrats Jurgen :yeah: :)

I am very happy Jurgen won this match in his country. :worship: Sorry Joachim had to lose because he is such a good player. He is finally coming back after a long lay off, healing. Watch out for him during 2007.

We also need to follow Jurgen Melzer because I feel he will finally show how good he is durning the 2007 season.

Can someone explain something to me ...

Evgeny defeated Djokovic and PimPim according to the event official website... so how is it possible that PimPim played the finale against Melzer ?

I tryed many explainations but I still don"t get it ! :lol:

PimPim won against Korolev :wavey:

oh ok, thanks.

The website is really misleading they put the scores without caring of the order of the names :/

anyway, thank you ! now I can update my blog with true infos :)

PimPim :bigcry:

not any pic that's not right :lol:

Congrats to Melzer! So he served very good... And he defeated PimPim Johansson? Melzer next to be Top 25.
