Here's a thread to celebrate a future addition to the Hewitt Family Jaslyn Hewitt's boyfriend up & coming Swedish Tennis Player Joachim Johansson :bounce: Who won his first match in the main draw of an ATP Tour Event in Stockholm
Joachim Johansson wins first ATP match
For the first time in his career, Joachim Johansson has won a main draw match in an ATP level tournament. He defeated Albert Portas 6-3, 6-3. "Pim-Pim" has lost in the first round of all four ATP tournaments he has played before. In Stockholm, he has received a Wild card both in 2000 (lost to Ulihrach) and in 2001 (lost to Vinciguerra).
This year, he entered the tournament as a qualifier after wins against Axel Pretzsch, Kim Tiilikainen and Edwin Kempes. Today's opponent, Albert Portas, came directly from the Challenger clay court season and couldn't adjust to the surface of the Royal Tennis Hall.
In the next round, Joachim will face Fabrice Santoro.
Anymore pics of Joachim will be truly appreciated :angel:
Who says he's still friends with that loser anyway, maybe he's seen the light
Johansson loses epic three set battle
Joachim "Pim-Pim" Johansson was one point away from defeating Fabrice Santoro. However, the "magician of tennis" never gave up and won 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(5). It was a very entertaining match between two contradicting styles of play. In the first set, both players held serve easily. "Pim-Pim" rose to the occasion and used his great serve and booming forehand to win the first set tiebreak by 8-6.
In the second set, Santoro found a way to return Johansson's serve and was able to convert one of three break points. Johansson continued to play well and in the third set, he was finally able to break Santoro's serve at 2-1. He then held serve to go 4-1 up. Santoro then held serve two times and broke Johansson's serve to level the score at 4-4. At this important stage of the match, "Pim-Pim" kept his nerves and held serve to 5-4. In the next game, Santoro was a little bit shaky and gave Johansson one match point at 30-40. With some great angles, Santoro got out of this jam and took the match into a third set tiebreak, which he eventually won by 7-5.
