A very nice draw open to him now, Heliovaara next followed by Cervantes, Trungelliti or Ciric. Reynolds was clearly the toughest opponent in the section, I thought, no reaseon he can't qualify
i think what surprises me most is that 2 of the last 3 sets were blow aways for cervantes. You'd think he would have been tired after his match yesterday but it would appear(in that last set anyway) that he is the one who was tired.
Chvojka loses to Brezac in the first round. What a terrible loss. Erik has been losing to mugs like lately. I think his loss at Wimbledon qualies affected him cuz otherwise why the hell would he lose to unranked nobodies like Meister, Brezac and Garforth-Bles. I don't know if his recent form will merit him a Main draw wild card at Rogers Cup. I don't know who stinks more right now, him or Dancevic.
Just give the WC's to Peter, Vashy and Lleyton Hewitt.
Brezac and Meister are actually good players and Chvojka plays a style that can allow him to lose to a player having a good day. Maybe the long season is fatiguing him as well, he does run a lot when he plays.
Was thinking that Bogdanovic would be a great match-up as he won last week's Future and surely would be tired. Turned out to be the case, as he's withdrawn to give Erik the walkover win. His first ever singles final in a Challenger.
Erik will at least enter the mid/late 190s in the rankings. If he wins tomorrow, he will enter the mid/late 170s.
Erik's not playing Van Open. A little surprised but it's likely a good thing, that he gets a break before the Rogers Cup, where he won't get a main draw WC, will he?
Yeah, a new career high ranking by some twenty (or forty, hopefully) places.
