good job winning today gillou.Nice revenge ro the thrashing he took last time

i know its by reitrement but its a win so im happy

LOL. Losing in 3 sets in 2 out 3 format is a thrashing? Standard is high these days

.
Not that anyone gets to see the match, but I think this could be a tank job from Tipsy (

isn't he kinda known for retiring from matches?), still count as a win in H to H I believe, so that's good. 6-2 HtoH sounds good.

He won't get any points unless he wins 3 matches here, which is a bit of a tall task considering his next match could be Granollers and then most likely Raonic. Anyway, best of luck Gilles.

my mistake. I somehow thought the loss he took to richard 2 and 1 was one to tipsy..i got the 2 players confused(dont ask me how)

in any case its a little revenge for the loss to him last time

Oh well, I didn't realize that. His record in grand slams and then missing out on points in the summer hardcourt Masters Series events have really hurt his ability to move up the rankings.

He is on Juanqui's tribute on Agora, among all spanish players, Pico, Hewitt.. nice to see

Gilles' playing Granollers tomorrow 2nd match on Agora
http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/573/op.pdf

I just realized that Granollers' the defending champ, I thought he won it in 2010, but he was just RU then. This really is the tournament for him.

Well, maybe Gilles can overcome the 1-3 HtoH and put up some good performance? He really hasn't has much to show for these days, esp. in those ATP500 (2 wins in 4 ATP500 so far

).

Allez Gilles, hope you can get a W.

The Bulldog · 10-24-2012, 07:11 PM

Just want to wish Gillou luck for tomorrow, but I really like Granollers too, so I don't mind who wins. Hope it's a nice match.

Gillouthe best · 10-25-2012, 05:51 AM

Allez Gilles against Granollers! for sure it's gonna be tough, but I think he can make it.

lalaland · 10-25-2012, 01:33 PM

On serve so far 4-3. They both played rather mediocre so far, and got broken once.

Allez Gilles.

Gilloulou · 10-25-2012, 01:43 PM

i feel he has the upper hand on him today! come on!

Gilloulou · 10-25-2012, 02:06 PM

so close...

Gilloulou · 10-25-2012, 02:07 PM

yes! i can go to the gym at peace

lalaland · 10-25-2012, 02:09 PM

He won a TB.
Now, please don't get broken opening the 2nd set, keep concentrating.

It's a very slow match, not so many long points, but Granollers takes a lot of time in between pts. It's making the match seemingly has no rhythm.

Goodall likes Gilles' short hair
