Too many UEs but many great points from both players. Copil's serve is huge (landed one at 242 kmh) and could have snatched the first set if he had less UEs in the TB.

Stan broke early in the second set but gifted it back and was somehow injured in the next game (first serve at 140 kmh) but managed to hold to love

Third set, Stan couldn't break so Copil DFed twice in a row to let him serve for the match.

That shot at 4-4 in the second set TB from Copil...

 

[IrelandisMine]

Great win for Stan considering it could of been him down 2 sets to love. Copil has talent and hope he keeps up the good form for the rest of the season.

Copil. Best of luck for 2015.

Stan da man!

I remembered Copil made some gutsy second serves against Dimitrov in Madrid I think last year.

Stan. Hope he keeps focus as the days go by. Good draw needs to reaped. I wished I saw the match though. :lol:

I will have to download this one, but 242 kph suggests Copil has now the fastest serve in the world.

I saw that in the 3rd Stan just served around 140-160 km/h first serves, what happened to him?

 

[DjokerLife94]

You the man Stan!! :rocker2:

 

[passingshotDTL]

A very tight match. Stan edged it in the tiebreaks but could have VERY easily been down 2 sets to love. I'm also worried about the elbow he was icing partway through the match... Hopefully it was precautionary and he's fit for the 3R.

 

[Fogmeister]

Pretty good match.

Copil played excelent tennis and could've won 1st and 2nd set, had he not imploded in both TB's.

This guy has TOP 30 potential. Dropping around 10 pounds would help I guess.

Guy was great against Dimitrov as I said in Madrid. Just needs more work, which really the important factor in many players. They have the game to be in the Top 30 IMO. The question is could they accomplish it?

 

[Sombrerero loco]

reeeally good effort from copil this week. nothing to blame him. well done, nice tournament!!

 

[Wojcirej]

How Copil is so low ranked right now with such a serve and backhand is beyond me.

Yeah, I remember that match, he played awesome, despite losing a very tight one. Great backhand down the line in the TB (down matchpoint I guess).

I think he can get to the TOP 30. Huge serve, powerful groundtrokes from both wings, decent return, very good net skills. He needs to work on fitness and footwork IMHO.

Copil nice job.

 

[PoorMan'sDavy]

Copil is a beast -- bossing Stan around the court in first two sets. Could have been much tougher for Stan but he showed some resilience and patience.

bad movement. I know he's a big guy but even so his movement is limited. I really like his game otherwise.

 

[Transcender]

Copil's a fine player, did well, Stan came through when it mattered though.

 

[Hypnotize]

I think it has more to do with his brain than his movement.

It has been a good tournament for Marius but the real test comes now when he has to go back to Challengers and get his ranking up. This is where he has always struggled in the past but hopefully he's improved his attitude.
