Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

here's another thing i don't get why is a 2nd round match in groth listed before a first round match in wang, these people running the tournament don't make any sense, u postpone a match and then move it to almost the end of the day, BRilliant

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

Top 100? Don't know about that but Wang was a touted junior with reason. His problem is a similar one that many Asian players have faced recently, which is his serve and general power aren't up to the level required to be an ATP player. But at this level, he's very good.

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

GL to Jimmy over Jaziri, one of the most overrated players of MTF. Jimmy should really beat him with his consistency.

Also, if Soeda wins today, I fully expect Rieschick to take him out again like he has in the past.

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

Wang was already ranked 85 at just 21 years old, but then was sidelined for 2 years due to injuries. I think he could've stayed in the top-100 without all those setbacks.

Also, happily for Filo :p, looks like Soeda is gonna lose today, 6-7 0-4 down against Moriya right now.

what you think about Ito can he take out Bhambri

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

Great that Go lost, now the tournament has life again. I personally think Ito-Bhambri is a pretty even match, with Ito being the favorite. I also think Sugita will win his match and Rieschick should win, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Moriya pull off another surprise.

Rieschick serve good yesterday 11 aces , i think Bhambri and Jimmay can be suprise

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

Hopefully, Groth continues serving like a machine and takes out Jaziri. I do NOT want Jaziri to be in the top 100. He winning this event would be only slightly less bad than Soeda doing so.

Ito needs the points as he defends a challenger title in a couple of weeks. Gritty win for him today over a good opponent in Bhambri. He's the favorite for the title now, IMO.

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

I don't necessarily hate him, but I do think he's way overrated. Dramatically overrated, for several reasons. And that makes me resent him quite a lot. I think he's an average challenger player and I think most of his following that he's gotten now are bandwagoners.

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

I think it would be nice if he makes the top-100, even if just for one week. He's 28 already, and as you said, he probably won't last long in those positions. That would be like a dream come true for a player who has been playing mainly Futures in his career till some months ago, and also great news for Tunisian tennis (and Arabic tennis in general).

Re: Week 10: Kyoto (Entry List)

Ito vs Moriya in semifinals is great. Finally a breakthrough tournament for Hiroki. He won a future on grass two weeks ago, and if he keeps up with this form, we'll be able to see him playing Wimbledon qualies in a few months (I think he's pretty good on grass and fast surfaces; probably a future top-100 as well)
