Good quality first set with some good shotmaking from both. Giraldo found his backhand late in the set and was able to use it to move Tipsarevic a lot. In the 2nd set Janko seemed to fade a bit and did not press Girlaod at all, was pretty passive and Sattiago took advantage of that,

he said that wasn't an issue though in the interview.

He's more or less been gone for two years. His stamina will take some time.

Banging that WTA non factor counts as a MS title, Houston ATP is worthless.

thanks a lot for that interview :yeah: Even though he says he's obviously not ready to challenge the top guys (hence he's not playing Monte Carlo), he said he could beat the majority of the players in the draw in Houston. The confidence and motivation is there.

We gonna see what's going on in Bucharest.

Watched only parts of the match due to bad connection ...

What he said during the interview sounds legit .. he also lost focus for an extended length (3-4 games in the second set) against Clezar when he got broken twic

Hopefully he will be more successful in Bucuresti

Yeah I agree. The first thing he said when he sat down (prior to me starting the recording) was that he wanted more out of Houston. He was not happy with a 2nd round loss and that he knew how to beat Giraldo but did not execute it well.

Didn't know Giraldo is dating Sorana Cirstea. That counts as Masters title indeed.
