You are right.

ATP Segovia Challenger

1st round against Niland.
2nd round against Kukushkin (probably).

Ugh. Maybe it'll be third time lucky. Or, failing that, he'll get Kukushkin R1 in the next tournament and then it'll be done with. :/

Let's first get past Niland. I don't think that will be that easy either.

pozzanghera · 08-01-2011, 10:15 AM

Yeah, that's true. My Kukushkin-blinkers are affecting my focus.

From marcochiudinelli.com
31.07.11: My first round match in Segovia against Conor Niland will be played on Tuesday. This gives me another two days to recover from the exhausting trip from Astana to Segovia.

Well, normally Marco should beat Niland. But considering comebacks are always unpredictable and the fatigue that needs to be factored in after last week, we should leave Kukushkin aside for just one second

CooCooCachoo · 08-02-2011, 01:51 PM

Marco won

6-4 2-6 7-5. Too close for comfort, but a win nonetheless.

pozzanghera · 08-02-2011, 08:17 PM

Now I can recommence my Kukushkin fretting, no?

It could be third time lucky; nothing like positive thinking...

Aaaand a huge thank you to Joao Sousa. Trying not to feel too confident (as pride cometh before a fall and all that jazz); but it's certainly a relief.

CooCooCachoo · 08-03-2011, 07:12 PM

Marco vs. João Sousa is the last match on centre tomorrow. So you can watch it on the livestream!

ATP Segovia Challenger (Hard)

R2: Chiudinelli b. Souza (POR) 64 76 (6)

I haven't seen the match because the stream was bad.
Next opponent is Gabashvili (ATP #133)

CooCooCachoo · 08-05-2011, 08:31 AM

The stream I had was good, but the match was bad. Marco did not deserve to win the first set in my opinion. I stopped watching after that

But I am glad he won; winning matches while playing poorly/worse than your opponent is the sign of a good player

I really hope he won't lose to Gabashvili

RNW · 08-05-2011, 05:09 PM

ATP Segovia Challenger (Hard)

QF: Chiudinelli b. Gabashvili [5] 62 46 63

Good first set. All in all good win, up-and-down quality.
No double fault.
He should have won it in two sets.
Gabashvili was very bad the first 10 minutes so Chiud. had an easy 3-0 lead.
