Yep. Grigor is a joke. He's a poor man's David Nalbandian.

They just rip the heart right out of you because their games are so beautiful to watch, but classic underachievers! Nalbandian snuck a few good wins though! I'll always remember '05 Master YEC in 5 over an injured Federer and his shame in being disqualified in Queens when leading over Cilic in 2012! Grigor going out to Robredo just can't be explained! I didn't see it; you'd think injury, but I'm betting another walkabout! :puzzled :nono :cover :rolleyes: - - - Nole Blog - - -

I think we should rename this thread:

Grigor Has Arrived (in a taxi to the airport)

Grigor played his worst tennis, happy for old Tommy who deserved to win nevertheless

Folks should recall that Tommy Robredo (after coming from an injury break) won a sequence of three or four matches in a row at RG and in each one he was down two sets and came back from that. That was a double come back so to speak.

Also, he took Fed out in USO when Fed was actually trying what he should do with his next opponent on Robredo instead of playing Tommy at the moment.
