DTT Daily Comments:

Monday 08:00 CET:

Hello, this is live comment from Foro Italico. Find hereunder a small preview of day 1 of this fourth DTT Masters Series:

Singles DTT:

Only one match played today with first round match between Israeli vamos israel (DTT Singles 33) and German MZverev-Fan (DTT Singles 20). vamos israel is playing his third tournament and still looking for a win, though pushing one of the top players, Nadie, to TB in Miami. Last week, vamos israel had to w.o. in first round against Bjorki but says he has recovered from injury this week. MZverev-Fan is playing his 4th tournament in a row. Second Round in Valencia after winning first round, QF in Monte-Carlo (losing to fellow German Boarder35m) and second Round in Barcelona (taking revenge on Boarder35m). He has a 4-3 record in Singles but 3-0 winning streak in First Round matches.

Other players will be warming up in this first round and will prepare for Second Round matches with very interesting matches. The most interesting matches scheduled for second round are:

- diego36arg (DTT Singles 3) will face his Doubles partner, trucul (DTT Singles 13) and try to continue winning streak after win in Barcelona.
- Drikke (DTT Singles 6) will face new top 10 Kielian (DTT Singles 10) who has just reached final in Barcelona.

More details with tomorrow report.

Doubles DTT:

Today is warming up for all teams. The great Brazilian team Robin Hood/MuriloBrasil (DTT Team 2), as seeded number 1 for DTT Doubles, are already through to Semi-Finals. Other best teams of the tournament (Huff/Georg (DTT Team 4), diego36arg/trucul (DTT Team 5), Jeronimo/lucho_coria (DTT Team 6)) will also prepare for tough matches starting on Tuesday against 2 brand new teams marr/MZverevFan, Drikke/vamos israel and Kielian/Boarder35m (DTT Team 14).
