Well that sounds like a better win than his first round. Does he have to play again tonight since it got rained out last night?

Luckily no QF in today's OP.
Chardy next for Mardy.
The semifinal Mardy vs James would be cool. :devil:

Mardy defeated Chardy 6-4 6-3, was never in danger of losing a set! :banana:
Ivo defeated James, so 4 players left in the draw are Gulbis, Nieminen, Karlovic and Mardy Fish.

Re: Mardy's 2010 Cheering Thread: Coming back in Australia!

Mardy lost to Ivo as expected (he has got awful 1-5 H2H vs Karlovic).
Unfortunately his ranking is now as bad as never: down to No.108.
Almost nothing to defend though.
Mardy needs to perform well both in IW and Miami.
I hope he will do it and get back where he belongs.

Re: Mardy's 2010 Cheering Thread: Coming back in Australia!

wow, out of the top 100

I saw his match against Ivo and he wasn't horrible, but he didn't play well either. I wonder if he's still struggling with his knee. Losing serve 3 times to Karlovic on HC is not a good sign for him at all though.

 

[DartMarcus]

Mardy is in IW and the draw is not good at all, but I hope Mardy can play like he did at IW 2008!
[25] Kohlschreiber (GER) vs BYE
C. Rochus (BEL) vs Petzschner (GER)
Berrer (GER) vs Fish (USA)
BYE vs [2] Djokovic (SRB)

 

[DartMarcus]

Mardy won 1-6 6-1 6-3. Somewhat strange scoreline, but great he won it in the end.
Now fingers crossed that Mardy plays well vs Djokovic.
Fishy also plays doubles with Mario Ancic! :banana:

 

[DartMarcus]

At least Mardy bageled Djokovic!

 

[Deboogle!.]

Yeah, but then he totally disappeared in the third after making an easy mistake

 

[DartMarcus]

In Miami Mardy has got another awful draw.
R1 vs Leo Mayer
R2 vs Andy Murray

 

[Deboogle!.]

Well, being ranked outside the top 100 will do that. He's going to be lucky to make it directly into Wimbledon at this point, oh man.

Getting Djokovic and Murray in R2 at his probably most favourite masters of the year two weeks in a row is :help: :tape:
He could get any top 32 player.

 

[DartMarcus]

He defeated Mayer 7-6 6-4, but beating Andy will be very tough task. He needs to play like Soderling did last week.

 

[DartMarcus]

Yay! Mardy true champion! :worship:

 

[otowngurl86apa]

I am quite shocked! Did you get to see the match DartMarcus?

 

[Deboogle!.]

Well that came straight outta NOWHERE!! amazing!!!

 

[DartMarcus]

I am quite shocked! Did you get to see the match DartMarcus?

I have seen from *2-1 in 2nd set. Everything was working well apart from Mardy's forehand. Serve was not really consistent, but everytime he was in danger of being broken, there was some 1st serve bomb from Mardy.
Murray was just pushing the ball but Mardy attacked very well. The match point was really incredible volley from Mardy. :worship:
I think Mardy can go very deep in this tournament if he stops bashing his forehand into the net. :help:
It would be also great if he made his 1st serve percent higher, but as we know it is almost impossible for him. :haha:
P.S. I actually expected him to choke. :tape:

 

[otowngurl86apa]

Thanks for the recap! I'm glad that Mardy played well! Here's hopin!
