i look at this as big positive for harrison, sometimes you have to win ugly and for him to be doing this at such a young age is impressive, learning all the time.

harrison has a huge future for me, very smart and good attitude.

If you have ever lived at least one day in Kazakstan, you must know how difficult it was (and still is) for young tennis players to get sufficient training and how much it cost their parents. I've been to US and I saw more courts both indoor and outdoor in a small town of Champaign than in the whole 1.5 Mln city of Almaty!

Yes, we bought some Russian players, so what? That's part of the state program, Kaz TF spends a lot of money on Kaz juniors, they built several tennis centers, they provide promising kids with both courts and coaches, free btw! It just takes some time but we will have real Kazak players. So, stop bringing up this issue in every GM thread whether relevant or not.

Yeah, I see. Does name "Anna Danilina" ring any bell? Another gastarbeiter, but in junior tennis? Or these Putintseva's speculations? Oh yeah, working with juniors oh so well. For God's sake, these girls were born after Dec 16, 1991, they are total aliens! It just a shame and disgrace and I cannot bear this ignominy.

Dixi.

P.S.

Great title

[Fumus]

Just a few wins away now from his first title.

[Voo de Mar]

Expected, Ginepri's experience in deciding 3rd set tie-breaks is laughable for a player to begin his pro career 11 years ago.

The biggest '3rd set deciding tie-break' suckers:

(.263) 5-14  Fernando Verdasco & Victor Hanescu
(.230) 3-10  Janko Tipsarevic
(.222) 2-7   Thomaz Bellucci & Robby Ginepri

First, it's not a place to hold this discussion. And I repeat-- no need to drag in Kazakstan into any GM thread just because you want to show you are so smart (which is not).

Second, I know about Anna Danilina. Can't tell I was very happy about this decision but I can understand reasons for doing this. I also know Sabina Sharipova very well, since she was 12. Her and Alisa Ogorodova. The Uzbek girls of 94 were better than our girls but 95 beat them. So, I am waiting for Kamilla Kerimbaeva to start showing results. As well as others from team Kazakstan. It's not that good with the boys but that's understandable, we never really had good boy juniors. With the girls we had Amina Rakhim.

Again, it's not the point. The point is-- everyone already knows that you are against of the policy of Kaz TF, stop trying so hard to show that over and over again. It's annoying and becoming ridiculous now.

Sadly Robby's career since 2005 has been awful It is almost hard for me to believe that he was once ranked #15 in the World And I don't know how talk about other countries tennis players got into this thread because this thread is supposed to be about a match between two American tennis players

[SapELee]

This match reminded me so much of Robby's encounter with young Andy Murray where he had the lad on the rope but couldn't put him away.
