Go Farron-Mahon & Kromann :rocker:

Re: Latvia F1 [July 27 - Jurmala - Clay] Main Draw
 

Burquier didn't do a lot wrong, it was Lobkov, who managed to improve his level dramatically after being on the verge of defeat, when he was a break down in the 2nd set. He absolutely deserved to win, and he is developing into a pretty good player, IMO. It's a pity that he cracked mentally vs Simoni today.

I've been watching all 4 tournament days, and I find Podlipnik-Castillo as the most impressive player in this draw.

I have to say that I like Farron-Mahon/Kromann duo as well, but, of course, I will be rooting for my countrymates tomorrow in the doubles final. It would be a fairy-tale for Kazijevs/Lībietis to win :)

Hans :worship: :drive:

Re: Latvia F1 [July 27 - Jurmala - Clay] Main Draw
 

Yep, I was watching it today.

Hans started serving first and got broken in the 1st game. And then... he won 12 games in a row :lol:

The match was over in 1h and 15min. 1st set was.. well.. not very competitive, but Simoni managed at least to stay in the rallies, although Hans was dominating them and moving Simoni around the court. 2nd set was very quick, because Simoni gave up at 0:2 and didn't care to try at all.

I liked the Chilean's single-handed BH. Nice technique and pretty consistent shot. At least in this level :)

Re: Latvia F1 [July 27 - Jurmala - Clay] Main Draw
 

:lol: so Hans had a slow start and the only game he lost was on his serve :lol:

Thank you again for the reports :yeah:
