Not a good result for Duckworth. Could still be feeling the effects of his marathon effort at the AO.

MS semi-final: [4] James Duckworth (NSW) d Michael Venus (NZL) 6-3 6-3 Melbourne Park International

I really hope he beats Robert tomorrow; 27 points is a lot tastier than 15.

I feel that this is a very disappointing series of events for James post Australian Open heroics. I was expecting him to build on his form and post some pleasing results..........runner up in a 15k is good but not really good enough at these stage. I know this might sound somewhat critical but I feel that this is an important year if he is to catch up to Marinko and Matt.

It might have been a Futures tournament but it was a near Challenger field and Stephane Robert is a class, former top 100 player. Plenty of upside to be had by him for the rest of the year... and a few bonus points too in a week where there was not much Challenger action.

And the next weak result is coming for Duckworth.
Losing to Andrea Arnaboldi in Sydney (he was born there) is simply a sign that he is not good enough to be a Top 200 player regulary.
I give up on this boy. Thought he would have the same potential like Johnson and the other USboys but they're simply one class above Duckworth.

im happy you give up with him, he doesnt need "fans" like you who give up just because he has some back to back losses

I am not a fuckin fan. I thought he has some talent and i was impressed last year in Australia but he simply isn't good enough to be Top 200-250 constantly.
He gets humiliated by Andrea Arnaboldi at his home tournament and on his best surface. Nothing to add here.
He was down in 5 of 6 service games (15-30 or 0-30) and broken twice.
Not good enough for Challenger, should play Futures in the next months and skip this level where he can not win a single match.

Pretty funny considering he just won that match 6-4 in the 3rd....

I'm concerned about his post-AO form but still a long way to go. Got to admit losing to James Ward twice is downright bizrre considering some of the form he showed during January.

Awks for outrider...

Sombrerero loco · 02-26-2013, 09:10 AM

he ended up winning the match

haters gonna hate

StatRacket · 02-26-2013, 10:02 AM

The top half of the draw is wide open, c'mon Duckworth.
