Well, Bernard lost first set despite 3-0 lead with two breaks. But in next two sets everything back to normal... I guess. :shrug: :shrug:

Monte Carlo Rd1: Bernard Tomic def. Lukas Rosol 4-6 6-2 6-3

Little hiccup at the end, but Bernie gets the job done. :bounce: :yeah:

No, Bernie winning a match on clay is not normal

 

[AlterBridge]

I have no idea why betting sites had Rosol as favorite here...

I just hope it will be normal this year. Since we are experiencing St. Bernard... :angel: :angel:

 

[swebright]

Go Bernie .......

 

[Djoker]

Why wonder? Rosol is the bigger mug of the 2 on clay, that's all.

 

[redshift36188]

Tomic is motivated for the time being. Should end the year inside top16.

 

[Phenomenadal]

Here's to a sweeping clay season. :yeah:

 

[92738]

A great result for Tomic.

 

[JMdelpotro6]

Tomic pulling through. Don't expect too much from him over the clay court season as long as he can just win all of his first round matches and maybe reach a QF in some event.

 

[MarkChan]

I like both but Tomic has a brighter future

This.

You like Rosol ?
Common MarkChan .. what happened to you ?
Has someone erased your memory ?

this is just a horrible loss for anyone on clay. only thing worse would be losing to vasek pospisil on clay

That's a silly thing to say, no one knows how well Tomic can play on clay, this is actually the first time he enters a clay season with intention to not tank it.

Not really. Tomic is fully capable of winning matches on the surface when he's committed (see Davis Cup). He's no Vasek.

I imagine Rosol's hype after that Wimby 2012 match vs Nadal? :shrug: But otherwise Rosol doesn't do much...
Good win on least favored surface for Tomic.

Wow! The Kokk beat Rosol therefore Bernie discovers how to play on clay. Better hope his draw keeps including Kokk/Kyrgios victims!
