Ferrer needs a new coach, his tennis is awful. Hope he ca hire a guy to replace Altur asap

Way to go Troicki, up to 151 in the rankings now by virtue of beating Ferrer. A very good win for him and his first against him.

At worst, Andy now has to beat Lacko, Gasquet and Robredo to win his first title of 2014. Get it done...

Wow Viktor, great win for him today! Ferrer was rusty but that's the perfect time to beat the top guys. Well done and good luck in the quarters.

Not as much luck this time around, He lost to Giraldo, who is facing Tommy Robredo in the SF

Monaco beat Gasquet

He will meet Murray in the SF who beat Lacko

That's OK, Vik's progress has exceeded my expectations so far. I am hoping that he can qualify for Beijing tournament. He was planning on trying for that one.

Why is everyone so excited about Troicki coming back up the rankings? Forgotten the reason he slipped down in the first place?

 

[Front242]

^ Because of the complete double standards given to Cilic who should still be serving a ban and who got off unfairly with a measly 4 months compared to 1 year for Troicki. At least Troicki had to make it back the hard way playing challengers.

Murray has reached his glass ceiling (SF is the maximum that he has ever
achieved this year). Will he able to raise above it?

I don't know that he has reached his glass ceiling, given past achievements. But I do agree that anything less than winning this tournament would be a disaster.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I meant this year's glass ceiling and not life time glass ceiling.

Having said that, he is playing Monaco and the H2H is 2-2. Monaco has beaten
Murray at good times. Why can't he beat him at bad times? Don't be surprised if
that happens.

On top of it, he never got caught with a positive test. He skipped one. Quite different as far as I am concerned.
