2014 Mercedes Cup

[Billie]

If PH3 doesn't phreak out, he should win this. Hasn't won anything since this one last year, if I remember it correctly?

He won in Hamburg the week after and a 250 in South America, I think Vina del Mar, this year.

Thank you -FG- I don't remember all of their results, but I believe he won 2 clay tournaments and made it to the final of a 3rd one all in a row (maybe he lost in the final of Umag)?. I know we were all surprised at his success.

I think fabulous one is due right about now.

You're correct: 2 wins, one loss in finals in 2014, all on clay, but they were not consecutive tournaments.

Vina del Mar - defeated Leonardo Mayer 6-2, 6-4
Buenos Aires - lost to Ferrer 4-6, 3-6
Munich - lost to Klizan 6-2, 1-6, 2-6

The three consecutive finals were after Wimbledon last year. He won Stuttgart (final versus Kohlschreiber), then Hamburg (defeated Del Bonis) and lost in Umag to Robredo.

F^3 is gone. Agut got him.

 

[Front242]

I guess Rosol will win the whole thing now.

Was hoping phor my two phaves to make the phinal. Got none, instead. Oh well...I should've known better.

Yeah, I thought of you when I saw the scores. Sorry about the outcome. It's a shame they both lost.

 

[Moxie]

Yes, very sorry, I Haychew. I thought you'd have one of them. Anyone want to game the final? Cliche favors the Spaniard, on clay, but Rosol has a big game, and I'm not sure that Bautista-Agut is a classic clay-courter. He hits pretty big, too. The win will be big for either. If B-A has the movement of a Spaniard on clay, though, he'll probably take it.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Agut wins it all. Second title of the year. Tremendous progress by Agut this year.
He did well in one slam (think AO) and then is backing it up with titles in smaller events.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Congrads to Agut, got the cup and the car.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Agut will move up to 18th in the rankings after this, very impressive from him to win two tournaments on such contrasting surfaces in the space of a month.
