I think he hasn't really played on center court so far.

From what I remember, only the quali final 2005 against Zimonijc and the doubles semi last year were on center court. And I think the match vs Zimonijc even started on court 1.

Zusammen mit Troicki wird Christopher Kas das Grand Slam-Turnier von Wimbledon bestreiten. Davor gibt es noch das Rasenturnier in 's-Hertogenbosch. Dort wird der Trostberger an der Seite von Petzschner servieren. Vorerst gilt aber alle Konzentration dem Turnier in Halle. Es ist das Heimturnier für Christopher Kas. Hier spielt er bereits seit zwei Jahren Bundesliga. kk

Obviously again Petzschner/Peya in Wimbledon.

I'm still pissed because he so should have won, but at least he was fun to watch (apart from the ugly collapse after having wasted all his BP in the 3rd set), I found him much better than most guys I've been watching since the beginning of the week. I don't get why they say the first set looked more like a "warm-up" on the tournament website, I enjoyed it, I thought there were loads of nice points.

His draw in Rosmalen:
Philipp Petzschner (GER) - [7] Jeremy Chardy (FRA)

2-0 in the h2h for Philipp and all good things come in threes.

So this time it's time for Chardy to win I guess...That's terrible, again the hardest match of the quarter in the first round. I hope they play tomorrow.

At one point against Rochus, he threw his racket into a trash can after missing the first serve. Did you see what was wrong with the racket? It looked okay to me in the slow motion, or was it a broken string?

Kas is probably winning Halle now.

That means no doubles before Tuesday for Kas/Petzschner.

1R (3)Kas/Petzschner - Hernandez/Verdasco

The doubles draw is okay and please don't lose on grass to this team.

JMG · 06-15-2009, 09:35 AM

His serve seems to be terrible today. 1-6, triple break.

JMG · 06-15-2009, 10:06 AM

1-6 3-6 against Chardy.

Truc · 06-15-2009, 10:10 AM

Unbelievable given how he was playing last week!

(I have no idea for his racquet in Halle, I only saw the racquet in the trash can, my livestream was buffering a lot after the 1st set.)

JMG · 06-16-2009, 10:03 PM

Kas/Petzschner d. Hernandez/Verdasco 6-7(2) 6-3 10-8

They wasted tons of chances, break points conversion 1/10 vs 0/0. They were winning the match tb right from the start with 7-3 and 9-6 leads. Then Petzschner was on 2nd serve at 9-8.

edit
J Brunstrom (SWE) / J Rojer (AHO) d [3] C Kas (GER) / P Petzschner (GER) 26 62 12-10

Not a bad draw, Ram in the 1st round, the winner of Zverev-Tursunov in the 2nd round.

Pala-Stepanek in doubles.

JMG · 06-20-2009, 10:30 AM

Singles should be on Tuesday, doubles on Wednesday. The doubles draw looks very dangerous to me and I wonder how Ram could be so good in qualifying. Maybe another 5 setter is coming.

Will the bet365 service be available for us? I fear it isn't.

I can't see any hint on their website for Wimbledon streaming. Would have been nice to chose between 6 courts, especially for a possible rematch against Bhupathi/Knowles.

JMG · 06-21-2009, 04:02 PM

Ovb online wrote K/P had triple mp in the quarterfinal.

JMG · 06-23-2009, 07:09 PM

...
Newport
Stuttgart
Hamburg 500
-
Washington 500
Montreal?
Cincinnati?

If he beat Zverev, he would lose only 10 points, which could be crucial for direct entry in Cincinnati.

JMG · 06-24-2009, 02:36 PM

Bhupathi/Knowles d. Anderson/Devvarman 6-7 6-4 7-5 7-5
Petzschner/Peya d. (LL)Motti/Sirianni 6-3 6-4 6-3

There is the rematch for last year's first round, when P/P won in straight sets. Today only 40.5 % first serves in, but great return stats. 6 to 2 breaks in the match.
