Thanks, those seems like good wins.

What is your opinion on the other matches today in morroco? I watched Daniel last week against Munoz and his backhand was all over the place, swish told me he hates playing out of south america, but i am not sure how he matches up vs Hrbarty, does dominator have a good record here?

I have heard some very good things about Rui Machado, seems to be a clay wonderkid but that vanek is a wily old fox.

P0ch-gradin vs Riba is anyones call!

I'd say you should consider many things, his overall record, recent activity, etc. Sometimes a player is not playing in his best surface, but has been playing well and then can make a good transition. I'd say Sidorenko is expected to be a top player (it doesn't mean he is going to be), might reach a career high better than Istomin, but then Istomin is more experienced this moment.

Wise words there checo.

I want to see Hajek in the MD, just don't want him to draw Horna.

two nice players who have been unlucky with their health, sure we'd like them to go deep in the draw.

Hajek can play for sure, sometimes he is very lazy and moody, though the heart problems haven't helped him among others.

When he had that big run in Challengers, he was able to win matches on the tour as well.

Hajek had an impressive and quick progression, first from futures to Challengers and then from Challengers to ATP, but didn't stay much at ATP level since he soon started with problems (if I recall well, it was when starting the season in Oceania).
