olek plays beto in the 1st round of the rabat ch
tough draw with granollers in his quarter too

Ad Wim · 03-09-2010, 08:27 AM

Very tough, finally a real test in these Moroccan challengers. Hope he reaches another final.

81st on the rankings now, that's enough to enter small 250-events. I wonder if he'll do it on clay. Events like Portschach, Munchen etc. Until now his ATP-performance was very weak, but he has to make the transition one day.

olek vs. bozo tomorrow

bozo another player I like, olek small favourite for me

Ad Wim · 03-11-2010, 09:39 AM

He hasn't really got that star-status either. He just travels around, plays his tournaments and wins challengers. Very little talk about him, no articles or something. While he is just 21, 80th on the ranking and on a big rise. Like I said earlier, he appears to stay under the radar, also on MTF.

I noticed that he has no clothing sponsor either, or no brand I know of.

lost to bozo 4-6 1-6

tanked for marrakech maybe, who knows

Marrakech draw is out
http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2010/3585/mds.pdf

Against a player from the Q on 1st round, then can face again Bozoljac in QF

marquez · 03-15-2010, 12:16 AM

great draw

final has to be a realistic goal here

marquez · 03-18-2010, 09:22 PM

revenge against bozo tomorrow

expected gaba tbh, well he choked from 6-4 *5-4

we'll know if olek tanked against bozo last week tomorrow

marquez · 03-18-2010, 10:25 PM

lets dream a bit

Olek would be ranked around 60 if he wins this tournament

Ad Wim · 03-19-2010, 06:47 PM

Unfortunately he didn't have the ranking at the time entry lists for clay tournaments came out. He only has the ranking for Barcelona so far.

Hopefully he gets a WC for Casablanca because he played so well in the Moroccan tour.

At least he has the ranking for Roland Garros, his first ever!

good win over bozo today

shame the stream collapsed at 5-5 but until then it was a good match from what I've seen

bozo played well too, few unforced errors on both sides, good quality
good luck against kukush tomorrow

marquez · 03-21-2010, 08:57 PM

lost in the finals to nieminen
not a good performance today
had the feeling he was the better player in the first set
couldn't recover from the break in the first, some chances in the second which he wasted with some terrible return misses

still a good week again, good decision to take a week off now imo as he seemed to be a bit tired physically & mentally

next stop casablanca qualis

marquez · 03-31-2010, 09:44 PM

looking ahead, dolgo needs 2 withdrawals for barcelona, he is in the qualifying list for monte carlo AND, what is most important for me, he decided to play munich which means I will finally get the chance to watch him live

Ad Wim · 04-01-2010, 11:04 AM

That's nice for you. In the more near future, he only needs one withdrawal to get into Casablanca directly. Very weak tournament, so he has a chance to finally do well on the ATP-tour, on his favourite surface.
