Second round vs. Christophe Rochus. Marsel won against him im US Open 2009 first round :) It's on the clay, so Rochus has much more chance than Marsel. Still he has chance for the win! Also, first two seed is out here and really good chance for title for any unseeded player!

Match will be on centre court and at 2:00PM (cet). We have stream there, so we can see the Marsel!

Good luck :)

:woohoo:

Marsel won against Rochus 1-6 7-5 6-2. First set was really awful for Marsel. But after first set, he struggled for all points, less ue, more winners, more ace, good service and soooo lovely dropshots :worship: Really deserved and impressed win.

Quarter final against Jose Acasuso :wavey:

Marsel will play in Ramat Hasharon (hard court) next week. After, he'll play Madrid qualies, then Roland Garros :worship:

Fantastic comeback, Marsel! :bigclap: I only watched a bit of the first set, and then I had to go to bed. :p But I really expected to see this morning that Marsel had lost. Really great effort for him to turn this match around. :D Hopefully his QF against Acasuso will be one of the earlier matches so that I can watch it all. :)

Lost to Acasuso 2-6 6-4 4-6

He came from 5-1 in the final set, he catched 4-5 and 0-40 (3bps, also he saves 2mps on 5-2) but Acasuso was lucky there. He putted two strong serve on first two bps, third bp is Marsel's error... Then he took two more points and took the match. So close :(

Another good week for Marsel, i think. He'll play in Ramat Hasharon challenger next week. He'll eight seeded (not sure), so he can get pretty good draw. As a reminder, Ramat Hasharon challenger have hard surface... Then, Marsel will go to Madrid for masters qualies.

Congrats Marsel!

Marsel really should have broken back in that third set near the end. :( Oh well.

I hope he can get a string of wins here and carry momentum over to Madrid qualies. Wins anywhere are obviously good, but it'd be REALLY nice to see him qualify for a Masters event.

Woohoo for a stream! :bigclap: It is great that Marsel is getting wins, but I hope we can see him move up to winning at ATP level regularly this year.
