Unlike what many of you believe, I don't hate Istomin. I just wanted him out of the top 100 since he was on his way that route. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, but now that he's still around, I don't really care. I'm neutral with him, good guy, boring game but pretty effective on HC. He's gone undefeated in challengers in the four he's played the past 2-3 months, so it will be interesting to see if he can translate that into ATP success.
I'm not neutral of Garbagesovic, though, so this is a fabulous tennis result. Istomin didn't have to do much more than play his usual game to win comfortably, not an amazing performance, but professional. MM simply has no game at all to beat any decent player on any regular basis or ever.
