Wrong thread...LOL

OK, to make it pertinent, Cilic comes back and defeats Rublev in 3 sets

Considering his (very) recent results, Bellucci is starting to look as a dangerous floater for RG. He gave Djokovic a match recently, and now is having a good run here.

Bellucci is a class player, ranked as high as 21 in the past - maybe he is on his way back up!

So Wawrinka is out. Just saw the highlights. Not sure what he got out of the tournament but maybe it served as a warmup? Wawrinka is so up and down right now it is hard to predict how he will do in the FO.

I never read too much into these top players' losses just before a major. I've been wrong so many times predicting somebody wouldn't do well because they just lost...and they go on a run.

I agree that Stan is up and down this whole season and that makes it hard to predict how he'll do in Paris.

On another note, another one of those players I like solely for their tennis capabilities is J. Sousa Portugal.;) He is in the semis, yay!!!!!!!:clap

Bellucci will be tough in the final though.

Could have been easier but Bellucci wins the first set on the breaker.

Good match. Bellucci wins, playing really well when he is not playing really bad. Sousa could have won the second but lost a bit of focus at the wrong time.

Very good job by Bellucci to win his 4 title, all on clay of course

Yeah, but the strange thing is that his game seem suitable for hards. Course, all brazillians grew up on clay.

Congratulations to Bellucci:clap and mrzz:D

He sometimes scares me with those mighty lefty forehands and I thought Sousa wouldn't be able to beat him if Bellucci played well. Still a great accomplishment by Sousa Portugal (as the ump called him against Souza Brasil last time they played).:cool:

Thanks Billie but just Bellucci deserves it... I don't even particularly root for brazilians, but I must admit I like Bellucci's game.

Sousa is a fine player too, just needs a bit more power and variety (easy for me to say).
