Nice signature and avatar

I also thought of her Turin shooting performance when I saw the race yesterday

Mathieu came back to defeat Seppi after the rain delay, so Mathieu is his next opponent.

In my eyes the more difficult one here because Mathieu can play very well and he has days where everything is going his way; but Kiwi has to fight through against some tough matches here, that's clear, it's a Masters

I would prefer it not to be Mathieu....

Thanks.

Yesterday´s race was so amazing. Katrin has been struggling for months and Turin was definitely the low point, but the way she bounced back was just phenomenal.

I´ve never been that proud of her before.

Mathieu is a tricky opponent, that´s for sure. You never know which Mathieu will show up, but I think that Kiwi can handle him.

I want Paulo to win so bad,but he has no mental state on crucial points at all,

last year he just had one great match to impress people - beat the duck in R1 in Montreal,

whereas Kiwi has much better results than him always.

So I think don't worry guys,Kiwi will beat him in 2.

Okay, unfortunately I was right when immediately said that Mathieu is going to be the biggest problem after taking a glance at his draw.

Kiwi needs to start getting some consistency again and getting used to tournament play some time. He couldn't play enough the last weeks. If he is more used to real matches again, then maybe he will stop more likely to lose several leads and good opportunities like in the first set.

Okay, on to Miami now. Last year he sucked there and lost to Mayer quite pathetically and too easy. Now this year he has to make up for his lost QF points of Indian Wells

Lets hope, that (or more) would be nice

This result does surprise me esp Kiwi led him 5-1 (what I heard) in TB!

Normally he shouldn't lose,I guess he just lacked some rthyhm after a rest,it's not a big problem,he will do better in Miami.
Next time don't place Kiwi,Paulo and Ivan in the same 1/8 draw,

or I'll be crazy!
