Varlet d. Malisse 2-6 7-5 7-6(6)

this is a very disappointing loss Xavier!

You waisted a great chance to win your very first title here!!!

omg Xavier

Well it's a surprising loss, but it only reaffirms my theory that the X-Man is just about the least mentally reliable player out there. It's quite telling that he's the highest-ranked and arguably most talented player never to have won a title, and that I think has something to do with his bizarre on-court attitude.

I saw him play Roddick in the first round in Basel last year, and at times he looked as though he could barely reach the ball, let alone hit it; it was as if he just didn't want to be there. Having said that, it's a long-standing problem for him; here is a man who once tanked the third set of a match according to Nick Bolletieri simply because he didn't like the way the other guy was hitting the ball.

Mystery Man, is Malisse!

Xavier :fiery: :fiery: :fiery: :fiery: Was the Belgian press right? Still I don't think so...but they are close...

Xavier is still thinking too much about Jen Cap's butt rather than about tennis ball. Very understandable - it's a butt to die for..
