Well Robby confirmed that he did indeed have two surgeries on his elbow. And he defeated Malisse 6-1 and 6-2! And he does make the 2nd Round of a Tournament I also noticed that Robby is playing Doubles with some guy named T. Rettenmaier who I have never heard of That Match has not taken place yet.

:cheerleader:

Sadly Robby was defeated in his Doubles Match :sad: His next Singles Match should be interesting because he is playing Ryan Harrison!

 

[SapELee]

Felt bad for Robby. He played better than Ryan and had two matchpoints but Ryan was too clutch and Robby just collapsed in the tiebreak.

 

[Mae]

You have just summed up nearly all of Robby's career when you said "Robby just collapsed". He has made a habit of doing that for years now and it doesn't have to be only in a TB either :sad:

 

[SapELee]

Robby will play Michael Russell in the first round of qualifying (Memphis).

 

[SapELee]

he defeated Michael 3 & 3.

 

[Mae]

Well I'm glad Robby went right into the qualifying for Memphis. He needs Match play right now. So maybe if he can keep winning it will be a big help to him. Of course, with Robby the "keep winning" is difficult :sad:

 

[Mae]

Robby won his 2nd Q Rd by defeating A. Kuznetsov 7-6 and 6-4 Go Robby :cheerleader:

Great job qualifying and hoping that he does not draw James Blake. I will be heart broken and will not know who to cheer for.

 

[Mae]

I don't know who he plays next and I really don't know how to find out who he plays :shrug:

 

[Mae]

I went to the Tournament site, but they don't have the players names listed. The entry list just shows the word Qualifier. Stepanek will play a Q. (Blake is playing Ryan Sweeting).
Kevin Anderson will be playing a Q. Sergiy Stakhovsky will be playing a Q. And Lukasz Kubot will be playing a Q.

You are right, I misread the draw. I'm happy now .

 

[Mae]

Well I hope I read the draw right as to who plays a Q! For some reason I have trouble reading draws

 

[SapELee]

Robby will be playing Anderson, it is going to be a tough match.

I'm glad that Robby didn't skip a beat, and went straight to playing more matches after San Jose. He needs match play as much as he can get it these days. It'll help him become more and more numb to the pressures that come in the crucial moments (at least that's my theory), and that could only help him focus on working each point and finishing each point with good execution.

I was hoping he wouldn't draw Anderson. He's a guy who can easily hold serve indoors... Robby will need that serve to be working well for him so as to decrease the chances of Anderson getting break points, and to increase the confidence he'll need to win this one. Good luck to him, but Anderson will be the favorite. :facepalm:

 

[Mae]

Poor Robby what I can say? I think if you were playing him I would put my vcash on you :tape: :ignore: :help: :facepalm:

 

[SapELee]

Robby lost 5-7 3-6.

 

[Mae]

Yes idolwatcher1 was right about the Match as always! She knows Robby like a book and yet I don't even know if she has ever even met him in real life?

 

[SapELee]

He got a main draw wildcard into Delray Beach. Hoping for an easier first round opponent (no big server please).
