Good Job

[misty1]

what? kohli actually won 2 matches in a row in straight sets!

good job though kohli, seems he is atually going to take advantage of his draw

[STUHL]

Now Stepanek. He is 1-3 in the H2H, but the Matches weren't against the Steps of 2011 who is a mug. But its going to be harder then the last 2 Matches!

[misty1]

yeah, it could be tricky but he does know how to beat him, plus as you said the stepnek of 2011 is not that good

It wasn't really an intense session. More like what every club coach would do with some junior players. He hits some soft balls and Kohli has to hit 3 forehands in a row and so on. The match on Center was just more interesting as I said already.

I'm sure he'll beat this Stepanek. The Czech hasn't been the same since returning to the tour @ Washington last year. Ok, he got some lucky draws at the end of last year, but nothing more. In 2011 he's even worse. In addition to that, clay is his worst surface and he played almost 3 hours today and I read he hurt his ankle in the end, also we know about his fatigue issues
Semi-Final would be an open match then against Cilic / Davydenko I think.

[misty1]

if kohli can win today then 3/4 semi finalists would be germans and there would be a chance for an all german final

cross your fingers!

[misty1]
