Athie, to some parts I can understand it because Ferrero really has some good reasons to his name. And he has shown raising form and he could be very well in there for a few won rounds. But on the other hand, it's not the most unusual thing that WCs are preferably given to some home players and Ferrero had enough time leading up to this event to improve his ranking enough to make it directly into the main draw.
Anyway, I hope that one of the German WC guys wins at least wins a round. Maybe Lars does it or Alex has a good day. Petzschner is almost a no hope for me, Kohlschreiber could do it, too, but he was so utterly bad the last days and has showed nothing at all since making the Australian Open 4th round
I'm not happy with the wc's at all. I mean it's good enough for Waske to play the doubles event, I don't see a reason here to give a singles wc to a player, who only showed some good results in doubles. And I fear he will get one in Halle,too.
Waske/Kohlschreiber/Burgsmüller are probably the only players Petzschner can beat on a good day. I still don't understand why they always play the wildcard tournament for Hamburg on indoors.
oh noooooooo, Alex was serving for the match at 6-4 *5-4, 30-30, just two points away from victory, and then couldn't get it done. He allowed Robredo to get awake just in time
He finally lost 6-4 5-7 3-6
That would have been really a nice surprise if he had beaten Robredo!
I was really impressed with the way Alex played against Robredo – some great net play
The only thing that I really don’t like to see Alex doing is having a temper tantrum and questioning calls too often – it lets him down and I’m sure it blows his concentration. He’s just passionate I guess

I beat the biggest a-hole ever, by the name of Daniel Koellerer, 6-3 0-6 7-5 in a tough and very dirty match. I will play against Vicente on Friday...
The German version is more like: "I just played against Koellerer, who is probably the biggest a-hole on the ATP Tour. It was a very dirty match, that should have been rather played in a boxing ring" ...
LOL, I like it that he has the guts to call this guy frankly an a-hole ... Koellerer is really :cuckoo:
Hm, no idea about Köllerer's behaviour right now... I didn't see him again since St Pölten last year... maybe he is again there this year... and in Kitzbühel! (if he makes the qualies, not sure if they give him a WC again, even when he is Austrian *g* LOL)
There's a nice report on Sport1.de about Alex (only in German, unfortunately), about him playing doubles with the other German guys as preparation for the Davis Cup playoff in September. He's even skipping the qualies for the French Open so he can take part in the World Team Cup in Düsseldorf.
Here's the link: http://www.sport1.de/coremedia/gene.../ten_20doppel_20experimente_201305_20mel.html
Good luck in the doubles against Argentina Alex and Tommy!
I have to admit I did not really know who Alex was until World Cup and of course my heart beongs to Tommy, but Alex is very sexy indeed. Not to mention quite a talented player. The two of these boys together on the court is intoxicating.
