Pretty heavy duty third set TB going on between Youzhny and Klizan. I am enjoying it.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Good job Klizan. The person who wanted it more won. Very positive TB.

Youzhny has completely gone oph the rails this year.

Youzhny has completely gone oph the rails this year.

Is not he battling some injuries this year?
He retired in the first set in Chennai, then lost in R2 at the AO a marathon match against Mayer,
He withdrew again before his QF match in Dubai and then skipped both NA masters in March.
Usually a top 20 player cannot withdraw from the masters unless gives an injury reason, no?

 

[herios]

First QF:
Klizan def. Istomin 7-6, 1-6, 6-1.
A qualifier here, Klizan, once a top 30 player over a year ago, has dropped all the way down to 111.
He has a good event here, could be a turn around.

Poor Tommy Haas had surgery again according to tennis.com? They're complete morons when it comes to accuracy so is this another misinformed message from them or did he actually have yet another surgery? He beat Seppi anyway so it's good to be back and winning right away.

SFs: Fognini v. Struff, Haas v. Klizan…likely the end of the road for Struff and Klizan?

Isn't Struff German? The home court advantage might help him.

We can have 1.5 Germans in the final if Struff wins.

Struff is German, and seems to be featuring of late. He's currently ranked #96, and just turned 24 last week. Yes, home court could help him, and Fognini is known for not helping himself, so we shall see.

Hope Haas can takes the title

All of the remaining 1.5 Germans were ousted today.

Although the run of the 0.5german Jean-Lennard Struff ended today, this was his best event of his career. But F3 was too much today for him: 3-6, 1-6.
Martin Klizan's rebound continued defeating convincingly Tommy Haas:
6-3, 6-2.

So now the top seed will meet a qualifier in the final, but Klizan was as high as 26 ranked last year, so it still could be a tight match.

The 0.5 German is Haas (as he basically lives in US most of the time). I was counting
Struff as full German. Is there a reason, why you call him 0.5 German?

Yes. Struff's name Jean-Lennard is made up of a French and a German name.

Really sucks that Haas is having recurring shoulder problems a lot now again Was really hoping he'd make a push for the WTF cut this year.

I really cannot see that happening.
