Arnold Kerr and Schwank's Doubles Opponent from last night....

They were 14 and 15 yrs old.....

Not sure about schwank, so many players like moya for example can role back the years so easily in any given match.

Why not seba?

Not the worse match up for him.

if this fukker spent more time playing tennis, instead of arguing with the UMP all night, he would've easily beaten bobby R.

seba looks so out of shape man...

he looked like shiet in doubles match last night. not what he used to be.

Henry Chinaski · 08-12-2008, 04:38 PM

looks like I'll going going against the grain here.

Match-up looks very much in favour of the Gremlin. He likes playing power while Troicki has a shitty record against lefties. Troicki didn't have the best preparation in the world either. He had his flight to Beijing booked and would've made it if Ljubo or Karlovic had pulled out a couple of days earlier.

Can't have Schwank as a favourite on a fast hard court even if his flat power game should be suited to it and cause Seb a lot of problems.

Kunitsyn loves playing serve/volleyers and Zverev has been out of action for a few weeks. Going to give this a miss though due to Igor's shithouse performance against Stoppini last week.

Back with official plays later...

Yeah he has been carrying a spare tyre for a while, and is a pretty accurate walking description of a washed-up player, these days. I agree with ivan in that, in better shape, Seb could win this (indeed might, anyway), but he is one of a few guys (e.g. Canas) that I could hardly bring myself to back, anymore. Hope he wins though...one of my favourite players, but I ain't holding my breath.

Happster...was one of those kids Ryan Harrison? Otherwise, yeah, it seems odd that such a young doubles combo would be given a place in the draw. EDIT - just checked the draw...and never heard of either of them!

Thing that puts me off backing Troicki at current odds is how he has fallen to pieces (even on the faster courts) against other similar match-ups in recent enough events...and, for me anyway, Gremelmayr has woken up at just the inopportune moment!

Henry - there are a good number of serve-volleyers that Kunitsyn has lost to, though (even Grandpa got him, at Queen's recently), and he isn't playing at the same level he was only a matter of months ago. But Zverev has hardly been setting the world alight, recently, either...toughie.

Totally agree, saw his match recently against Moya i think and he was playing some great tennis.

those kids were from some local tennis academy. Believe me, they didn't deserved to win those 2 games. Should've been 6-0 6-0 in no less than 25 min match from what I've witnessed.
