he can't lose to Mirnyi.that would be sad:sad:

Marcos lost to Max 5-7 4-6! He had his chances, he lost 2 set points in the 1st set and then he got broken! He also missed countless break point chances.
I think he should try and mix his game a little bit. Max went to the net 90 times and Marcos only 5,6 times. He has to do something otherwise he 'll be out of the top 20!

he can't lose to Mirnyi.that would be sad:sad:

sure he can :sad:
7-5 6-4 :mad:

what a tool:mad:

:sad:

Come back stronger Marcos!
