another clean backhand winner from Llodra for the break, that's it probably

He had so many opportunities in that 1st set

But I fear it's too late now - Llodra about to serve for the match

He's out. That's a surprise loss by someone who wants to get back to the top 10

I have no idea how he managed to lose when he started the match so well.

He managed it with hitting sth. like 20% 1st serve in that first set.

That's a new low for his serve

*Ljubica* · 02-17-2010, 03:52 PM

Llodra is always dangerous on fast hardcourts when his serve is working........ and he always plays well at home, so I don't think the loss is so surprising.

Anyway - it's Dubai next week.

Marcos

Now that's 2 real losses for the year. I'm not counting Hewitt (he was injured) and Davydenko (Marcos did as good as he could)

IKR!

If he wants to get back to the top 10, he needs to get a lot of ranking points so he really can't afford to lose in the second round of Marseille against Llodra, even if it is in his home country

On to Dubai!

*Ljubica* · 02-20-2010, 11:30 AM

Ivanatis · 02-20-2010, 12:00 PM

could have been worse
QF vs. Kolya is a must

*Ljubica* · 02-21-2010, 01:34 PM

Marcos is second on court tomorrow http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2010/495/op.pdf

Totally sh*t time for me as I'll be at work and no livestreams allowed

But the tournament is televised here, so will set the VCR and watch it later.

Good luck Marcos.

Baghdatis72 · 02-21-2010, 02:10 PM

Federer is out of the tournament with a lung infection btw.

Ivanatis · 02-21-2010, 03:40 PM

Llodra went on to win the tourney. What looked like a good draw turned out as a really bad one.

He was the most in form player of the tournament and yet Baggy had to commit suicide to lose the match against him.

Baghdatis#1 · 02-21-2010, 09:26 PM

Pame Marcos!

QF is a must!
