He won his first title!!! Montanes def. Darcis 1:6 7:5 6:3 :woohoo:

i watched him play all week in amersfoort, and he played very good..I can say that i am quite a fan now that i have finally see him play in person :D

First set he played really bad, after 12 minutes he was already 5:0 down. After that he immediately broke in the second set to 4:1, then got broken back to 5:5 and eventually claimed the set 7:5. In the final set Darcis lost his confidence and Albert won!!
He was really sweet when i met him.. After the match he gave autographs to lots of children and posed for photos and stuff.

Here is a picture of him with the trophy.
I expect them to post a summary of the match here tomorrow or something: http://www.dutchopentennis.nl/samenvattingen_2008.php

Maybe i'll post some photos of a friend later..

I"m so happy Albert won his first title in my city! I was there for the Semi final on saturday, and wish I was there for the final too, but that was impossible. I really want to see him more in the future, he's such a sweet and nice guy :) Got to meet him after his SF match, and saw him of course in Stuttgart too, the week before.

hehe like you Sabrina, I am quite a fan of him now too :)

After a not surprising Australian season in which Albert went 0-3, he's now on his favorite dirt for the SA swing.

Unfortunately at Vina, Albert lost to Cuevas after having a bye. Made the semis of doubles though, that's not too bad.
Next up is Costa do Sauipe, where Albert again is the #3 seed but unfortunately drew Ferrero first round. That being said, Ferrero is outside of the top 100 and not playing well, so Albert definitely has a chance.
Also, Albert reached a career high of 40 in the world last week :worship:
A strong showing on this SA swing could have his ranking really looking good. :cool:
Good luck Albert :)
