It would be on Thursday since some second round matches haven't been played yet.

[Löwenherz]

He won today, 6:3 in the third :-)

[Tennis-Engineer]

Total points: Calleri 91 - 87 David !

David made a nightmare start, and the 2nd set was absolutely comical, but thankfully he got the job done in the end.

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the match (it was broadcasted by Fox here). David and Agustín know very well each other. I think that is difficult play against a player-mate older than you. With David we never know

Wawrinka himself will play his second round match tomorrow.

I wish I could have seen the match today but I must say it pretty much went as I expected

Wawrinka shouldn't lose his match.

Good win for Nalbandian, at least he should be ready for backhands down the line.

interview after his match



29/04/2008 - David Nalbandián d. Agustin Calleri 1-6 7-6(2) 6-3, Second Round

“It wasn’t a great match today, against Agustin it’s always difficult, and I didn’t play my best tennis and I’ll get better with each match until I get to level I should be for this tournament.”

“I didn’t leave the court very happy. I need to tighten my game a little bit, as I’m not in my best form but I’ll get there. I have a difficult draw, so I’ve got no choice but to improve day by day and match by match to find my best game.”

I hope he can do it.

The downside of this event of course has been the lack of/non-existant coverage/live streaming available in the past. I'm not overly optimistic on that front this year.

You consider consider Hamburg to be a Clay court "Event" ... Lol just kidding, nah Hamburg is such garbage the courts are worse than some social clubs ive seen, and its barely a true clay court in terms of the bounce, historically the guys who do well at hamburg dont do as well/win RG, sortta similar with Rome, cos its so fast most of the fast court players do well there and die at RG. Barcelona and Monte Carlo are usually the biggest indicators of how they will do at the French.

I reckon after Wawrinka its a cakewalk for Nalby, Although Wawrinka is such a troublesome player for him dang it!!! I want Nalby to be in the final.

And for Wawrinka, I also believe David has better chances on clay...the first bad thing is if he plays Ferrer in the SF (that of course in case he reached that round )
I think it mainly depends on his fitness...so best of luck David

By which You mean Good Luck nalbandian :P

gpatak has put up the match against Calleri on TennisTorrents.com to download. Judging from what has been put up, it looks like he/she will be putting up all Barcelona matches for download which is nice. I don't think I'll watch this one but good to know for the future.

Great result in double as david, paring with arnold ker, defeated elrich/Ram ! Hope this can boost his confidence.
