Maxi Abel OMG

[marquez]

looks like abel qualified directly out of prison

[Sarajevo]

will Ilhan play this tournament ?

btw stream is here

[misty1]

he's playing both the tournaments in turkey

[Dead Net Cord]

Jaziri def. J.Baker 1/6 7/6(2) 6/4
Nice comeback from Jaziri who was down a break in the second.

On the other hand Ilhan disappointed, lost to Ghedin 6/7(8) 4/6

[misty1]

marsel has just spiraled down and his game is completely gone, whats more his fight which was always one of his best qualities seems to have gone away too

its sad to see

[The Bulldog]

Ghedin is a good player. Really good backhand. I'm not surprised. Marcel is usually is decent in Izmir, so maybe he can bounce back then.

[Honzicekkk]

Menendez-Klein, what a great match! Both are hitting the ball so hard! I thought Brydan is not that good, he's not making mistakes at all!

[Honzicekkk]

Wow! Brydan was fighting madly, but it was not enough. He double faulted at MP down. Anyway, I'm happy for Adrian, he really impressed me today.
