Re: The European Swing... GOOOO KIWI!! Make it back to top 100

yes Wawrinka is tough but that's what Wawrinka will think about Kiwi, too.... and Youzhny?? Hm...Kiwi never beat him but looking at Youzhny's last weeks... not the worst draw I think... GOOOO Kiwi!!!!

Wawrinka could be tired after reaching the final in Vienna.

Hope Kiwi takes advantage of an OK draw

Yeah, let's hope for that. Sure would be nice if Kiefer could reach the 3rd round.
I'd love to see a Kiefer-Haas match, but once again Davydenko is in the way and might defeat both.

Kiwi

I didn't see the match, was he playing well?

 

[kiwi10is]

Re: The European Swing... GOOOO KIWI!! Make it back to top 100

looking at the stats I think he played well....

Robredo and Kiwi have the ATP play of the week http://www.atptennis.com/3/en/mercedesbenz/default.asp?AssetID=2462

Good one, Kiwi. Next up is Youzhny. It seems that Davydenko withdrew, which really increses the chances.

Re: The European Swing... GOOOO KIWI!! Make it back to top 100

Can you imagine that Wawrinka was Kiwi's first indoor masters main draw win since 1998? Maybe I overlooked one, but it's a weird stat. He also missed so many of them due to injury or had to play qualifying.

Re: The European Swing... GOOOO KIWI!! Make it back to top 100

Kiwi won 6:1 6:3! well done!

That can't be true, can it? Wow.

2 breaks in each set. Youzhny is clearly not in great form right now, so we could hope for a Kiefer win, but this scoreline is surprising.

Next up is Mr. Ace, Ivo "Dr. Ivo" Karlovic. We all know that one of Kiefer's strengths is usually his return. Ok, he didn't do much against, let's say, Berdych's serve in Halle (I don't remember any other match against a big server), but that was his first comeback match, so let's hope that his return skills are back 100%. He'll need them.

lol, looks easy by the scoreline!
I hoped for a win secretly, but never expected that! :banana:

Oh damn, I didn't read here today earlier, or else I would have figured sooner what scarecrows meant in GM :lol:
