Really!!! this year, Robin's clay season will really tough, Monte Carlos, Barcelona, Estoril, Rome, Madrid, RG. OMG, 6 clay tours in a row ( if adding IW, Miami, Halle and Wimbledon, it will be 10 tours in a row), hope Robin will skip some of them. I reallt worry wbout this strength, how come he registers too many tours like that. I think he will certainly skip Estoril and maybe Barcelona

[_Chaz]

Yes, Robin should really skip Estoril, it's just not necessary.
You know, only the best 2 ATP 250 results count (or sometimes 3 if the ATP 500 aren't good enough) and he already won Brisbane and still has Bastad in his points until July. And there's still Marseille and Halle to play, that's enough 250's.
I just hope he skips Estoril. Otherwise he became quite a scheduling mug

What a wonderful year!

3.The 2nd trophy in 2011.Defend the championship for the first time！

First Round Robin Haase W 6-3, 6-2
Second Round Philipp Kohlschreiber W 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (9-7)
Semifinals Viktor Troicki W 7-5, 6-4
Quarterfinals Mikhail Youzhny (6) W 6-4, 7-6 (7-5)
Final Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (8) W 6-3, 3-6, 6-3

Great tournament for Robin.We all very happy to see his improvements,especially the net play.

Robin is still the World No.4 after this tournament.
Next station is Marseille 13 Open（ATP 250）

His past scheduling during the fall was awful. Last year, he played at Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Shanghai, and Stockholm all back to back. I hope he doesn't do that this year. I would skip Kuala Lumpur because slow and low bouncing doesn't suit Robin's game. If he really wants to play during that week, he should play at Bangkok, which plays more quickly than Kuala Lumpur. I would just skip it because three back to back tournaments is already more than enough. Valencia is also slow and low bouncing, which doesn't prepare him for Paris. He should play at Basel instead, which plays much more quickly than Valencia, and is a good lead-in for Paris.

Robin used the same schedule in the past two years.actually, i hope he can skip Kuala Lumpur,too.Because robin has no good result in that kind of condition of weather,such as Chennai.

His clay season this year is also awful . I'll really worry about his health and strength if he keeps such schedule. He should skip some tours to keep healthy and to focus the best for high tours

yes,he has no necessary to join all clay tournament,although he needs to defend 1200 points for the runner-up in FO...maybe he can skip some before them start...

Not toooooo convincing vs mahut, but still solid to win in 2. Happy times

4.Marseille 13 Open（ATP 250）

Second Round Nicolas Mahut W 7-6 (10-8), 7-6 (7-5)
Semifinals Dmitry Tursunov W 7-5, 6-1
Quarterfinals Michael Llodra (8) W 6-1, 6-4
Final Marin Cilic W 6-7 (8-10), 6-3, 6-3

the 3rd title in 2011,the 9th in career and the match record in 2011 is 17-1.so amazing!!BTW:robin lost the fisrt tie-break in 2011 to Marin Cilic in the first set of fanal game with 8-10.

i think for all of us,this championship is unplanned,because robin had got another one in Rotterdam and Marseille is the back-to-back tournament.

we have no necessary to say some other words.All work had paid!2011 must be an unforgetable year for Robin and us.

next match is the Davis Cup,SWE vs RUS!

[minh]

That's an unbelieveable and wonderful year of Robin, although the year is still so long . Now hope he has good results on clay season

[sunzhewyq]

5.fight for the country:

Robin won the match against Igor Andreev as the top seed of SWE and got the first point for his team with 6-3 6-3 6-1.The swedish team won the match against RUS with 3:2 and go into QF in Davis Cup,they will face the defending champion,SRB,next round,Luckily,the match will play in Sweden.

[gam_jonte]

And of course he gets a nigh impossible draw in IW. He'll probably loose to his mini fed nemesis Kohli in the third, if not that, then either DelPo or Murray, but not thinking that he'll beat Kolhi 2 times in a row. Plus this is outdoors and it's supposed to be windy, which Robin dislikes.. Dark weeks ahead Happy post right, I'm just furious that he always get such hard draws with opponents that dont suit him at all in most "big" tournaments. :/
