2015 Abu Dhabi

[Kieran]

You hope. The guy had a bunch of breakers. And he hadn't played any worthwhile tennis in donks. Then he dispatched Stan in straights. It's all practice. Good practice. He'll keep improving. But basing an opinion of what bodes for 2015 on a single exhibition match is wishful thinking on your part, me old mucker..

Novak's withdrawal benefitted Rafa. This way, he got another chance to shake off some
rust in a match with no-stakes as opposed to a regular match.

how so.. Rafa and Stan was due to play the match for 3rd place regardless of the Djoker/ Murray match

I thought the Rafa/Stan match was a substitute match to pacify the crowds as the title
match got cancelled. I did not realize that they had a match scheduled to determine the 3rd place.
I stand corrected.
