[Filo V.]

4/13 on break points is the story. They won right around the same amount of points, but Ramos won the big ones. Unfortunately when you lack confidence, you aren't going to win big points more often than not.

Good times hopefully will be coming soon for Pete.

[Chris.]

What a choke.

Pete is in Alessandria, Italy this week. A bit of a weekend field due to it being on clay in the first week of RG and with some guys already looking toward the grass. Hopefully he can revitalise his year here. If he finds his best tennis, he could take the title. If not, it's tough to see him winning more than one round. We're all behind you Looch

Doing it the hard way good to see.

Nice work by Pete. Freddie Nielsen is a pretty nice QF matchup on clay for Pete and one would think Pete will start the favourite.

[StevoTG]

Was worried after the first round, but he seems to be fighting his way to form. Hopefully he can take care of Nielsen, who will probably be fresher after two straight set victories. If Pete is fresh enough, I'd agree you'd have to fancy him. Let's go Looch!

EDIT: I see Pete has a day off. Should be fresh as a daisy

[Audacity]

Good luck for your match Pete.

[Action Jackson]

Pete lost 3-6 6-4 6-1. He was doing well until the rain delay, then seemed to lose focus and Freddie played a bit better.

On to Furth now.

[Action Jackson]

Luczak beat Knittel 6-2 6-3 at Furth, he has won this challenger twice.

[Audacity]

Good work Pete. Hopefully he will bring a bit of confidence to the court this week knowing he's won it before.

[Action Jackson]

Ciric took down Pete 7-5 7-6(2).

[Hewitt =Legend]

Tough loss for Pete, hopefully some wins are just around the corner...
