Time for an update, since I'm a big fanboy.
Michał has just won a challenger in Kazan and is top 150 for the first time in his career. He has virtually no points to defend till late October. He was playing great in late 2009, now he's playing *only* very good, and hopefully this win will give him confidence after some gloomy endings of sets in January.
(next part is for no-lifes only)
JANUARY:
Michal started the season in Doha, lost to Benny Becker in Q2 after leading 6:4 6:6 and facing no breakpoints. Becker got his first minibreak in the tiebreak and Michał folded like a cheap tent, then lost the 3rd 6:4 after having a few 0:30s in the latter stages of the set on BB's serve.
Played AO qualifying, dig himself out of a hole against Okun in Q2, lost to Ebden (who was looking pretty good against Monfils in R1) in Q3 5:7 2:6, after missing a few breakpoints in the middle of the set and a crucial one to get a rebreak to make a tiebreak in the first. Started the 2nd set terribly and never regrouped.
Went to Heilbronn challenger, qualified (beat Vinci in Q3, who had loads of chances in that match and should have won it in two but lost in two), lost to young WC Stebe in R1; playing absolutely shit on return, found himself 6:3* up in the first tiebreak, squandered 2 setpoints easily, got screwed up big time by a linesjudge on the 3rd, at 6:6 Stebe's passing shot clipped the net and Michal netted unplayable volley. Stebe won that set and 2nd as well, Michal logged out from that match after the first set and looked a tad disinterested, but all credit to Stebe.
FEBRUARY
Won Kazan rather easily, being in trouble only once - 2:4 down against Kirillov in the 3rd in R2
