[herios]

Not the most encouraging return for JWT. He lost to Gojowczyk in 3 sets.
He has some work to do like Stan and Andy to regain the lost ground.

 

[isabelle]

expected loss from Jowill, it was his come back match, he'll need some time to rock again

Good to see Stefanos up there among the top seeds.

I saw that. Who is the German guy and who lit a fire under him?

Just one of the cases when someone lucks out.
Bachinger, who was a qualifier, defeated in this sequence:
R32 Munar ranked 82
R16 Barrerre ranked 155
QF Maden ranked 120
Then Nishikori in the SF.
Barrerre was a Lucky loser himself who took Pouille place in the draw after he withdrew
Maden upset Paire.
That is how Bachinger made the SF where he pulled the big upset.

Gilles Simon wins his 14 title. He will be back in the top 30 following this succes.
