Yeah, this is a tough match for RObin, Almagro is a host player and sure the spectator will support him, moreover Almagro is playing well at clay But i think Robin can do well, good luck Robin

[I_Dasco]

Cheer for Robin today! Good luck Robin .. Armagro is hard though but Robin can do it

[misty1]

robin really not playing to great

on his opening service game he fell to 0-40 and had to fight off a break at deuce before holding.

second service game was a little more comfortable

fell to 0-40 again on his 3rd service game and got broken

[misty1]

robin gave up the break to go down 2-3 but got it right back

tied 3-3

robin is not playing great, then again neither is almagro so this is anyone's game.

[misty1]

robin saves 3 break points again to prevent giving the break right back

[misty1]

robin is broken and trails 4-5, he'll have to break to stay in the set

almagro goes 40-0 up but robin gets it to 40-30...before losing the 1st set.

robin down 4-6

[misty1]

robin off to a fast start in the 2nd up 3-1 over almagro but faces a break point here

almagro breaks and robin leads 3-2, almagro to serve

...i really dont know what to say here robin went from up 3-0 to tied 3-3 in the 2nd set

i guess the only way to put it is that robin is being outplayed

[misty1]

robin has stepped up a bit
currently 4-6, 5-5

he's fallen into an 0-30 hole on serve

worst possible time for a double fault from robin, he's down 0-40 on serve for the 3rd time this game! he saved the break from this point once can he do it again?

saves the first with ace # 4

almagro breaks on the 2nd though

almagro will now serve for the match

[misty1]

robin loses 4-6, 5-7 with almagro winning the final game 40-0

robin went from 3-0 up in the 2nd set to losing 6 of the next 8 games.

the sad thing is i knew this was coming, i had this feeling robin would lose and i had a feeling he would start to struggle.

anyone else think maybe that robin's confidence is maybe wavering, he has made early exits in his last 2 tournaments now and maybe he's starting to think about having to defend all those roland garros points

Robin

[SweTennis]

As an answer to the title (of what I get from the result): A bad shape. I really hope he can improve until Roland Garros, or he will lose many ranking points.

[misty1]

lets hope he can do better in nice

[FlameOn]

Tough loss to Mugro. Good luck next time Robin.

Thank misty1 for posting live score. It's so sad about this loss
From ROme to Madrid, Robin both played so bad
