Hilarious match. R-V was up 5:0 in the 1st set, and lost it 5:7
Youzhny wasted couple of nice chances in the 2nd, R-V was serving for the set, leading 40/0, then Mischa hit some outstanding return winners, but couldn't save himself from losing this set
In the third it seemed that the Frenchman had no bullets left and Mikhail goes to QFs

I saw this Roger-Vasselin for the first time and must admit that he played some nice winners, both from the baseline and at the net (but not very much). Maybe he's got a shot at Top 30. Maybe

By the way, with this kind of form Nadal will just eat up Youzhny in their eventual meeting. He's to erratic and simply can't finish points other that with an unforced error

Hopefully Mischa can lift his game soon!

I didn't see the first set but the last two sets has some nice points and also a lot of errors and pretty erratic play from both. Anyway congrats to Youzhny, hoprfully he'll imrpove in his next match

Couldn't see this one... but that scoreline is telling enough. Nadal is going to walk away with this title even playing right-handed, if Youzhny doesn't manage to improve his game.

I'm proud of Eddie for winning a set against such a tough opponent. Good start to his year.

Xavier Malisse won the title last year

Well done, Edouard :clap2: Good fight.

That is Edouard's game; he mixes it up, also with quite a few dropshots that he follows up by going to the net himself.

Well done Mischa :rocker2:

I'll be disappointed if Youzhny doesn't make a top 10 run this year.
