First round match to watch: Klizan v. Kyrgios

Two highly aggressive players on a fast court - could be a fun one to watch!

Klizan found another level in Rotterdam, one I hope he will sustain. Looking forward to seeing this.

Another possible good first round match - Stan versus Sergiy. After their extremely close match in Marseille, it's rematch time! Again two aggressive players, including a net rusher - could be fun on the fast courts!

Looking at their H2H, Sergiy must like playing Stan. Sergiy got a win last year, and all three of their matches have been close, including a bunch of tiebreaks - 2 best of 3s that went to a final set, and a 4 set match at the USO. Not bad considering how much lower ranked he is than Stan.

Yes, Klizan was brilliant in Rotterdam. He's always had talent, but he seemed to find a new level mentally. I too hope he can sustain it, because he's great to watch when he's playing well.

Kyrgios has 15 hours of rest between his final in France and first round in Dubai. Playing Klizan makes this especially tough.

And Seppi's day is done, thanks to young gun Chung. :snicker

Nole is just plowing Robredo under the court! He exudes confidence that just wasn't there a couple years ago! He steps up to serve and actually gives his opponent a chance by just bending them in at first, then cracks a bigger one if he feels threatened! He's toying with him now; running Robredo a bit ragged! :ras:

Watched the last set. It looked as though Nike could have played that match blindfolded and one-handed and would have still come up tops.

 

[isabelle]

Nice start for Nole

 

[Fiero425]

Surprise, surprise; more gutless play! Stakhovhsky gave it away to Wawrinka again! Stan wanted to give it to him; down love 30 twice in the closing set, but Sergiy just can't finish like so many others of the tour! The #2 seed squeaks by again; talented but biggest underachiever out there! Even Murray has been able to do more with his meager, defensive game! ;-(

Good job by two qualifiers Fabbiano and Skugor to defeat Leonardo Mayer and Gabashvilli respectively.

 

[golds girl]

Kyrgios avoids the post-tourney-win slump and hold it together to take out a rising and dangerous Klizan.

 

[isabelle]

Bagman and Bautista Agut both won

 

[herios]

Chung loses to Bautista Agut and Coric to Kohlschreiber.
Kyrgios wins again, defeating Kukushkin.

How many games do you think Jaziri wins against Novak?

Not a lot.

Between 3 to 5.

 

[10isfan]

It might take Kyrgios playing zone tennis to defeat Djoke. I am doubtful anyone else can do it.

 

[El Dude]

I really hope we get to see Kyrgios vs. Djokovic in the final. This tour needs a Novak Killer. I don't think Kyrgios is ready for that role, but he has potential.

 

[herios]

Historic win for Nole. He clinches # 700 win today 6-1, 6-2 with Jaziri.
