update
Sixth seed Jurgen Melzer continued his mid-season resurgence with a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 win over Spaniard Guillermo Garcia Lopez to reach the second round in Casablanca Monday. He could make a nice run here.
Frenchman Arnaud Clement, one of just three ATP title winners (Nicolas Massu, Luis Horna) in this week's field, saved three of four break points in his 6-4, 6-1 win over Argentine Juan Monaco. Fifth-seed Clement is chasing his second title of the year, having won Marseille in February.
German Bjorn Phau improved to 9-8 on the year with a 7-6(4), 6-1 upset victory over fourth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi, winning the last five games of the match. Phau served three aces and saved six of seven break points faced. _________________
It's nice Melzer's continuing his good form. Maybe he will be able to threaten at Roland Garros if he's able to play like the way he's been playing consistantly. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Yes, and Melzer hasn't proven he can play consistantly. It's a pity, because he can hit with anyone when he's at his best. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Yes. He has an extremely explosive jumping backhand drive and drop shot though....when he's on. His shots have no 'solidity' at all. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
I would say he's way more consistant than Melzer. I'm not sure he's as good at his best, but he's mentally tougher and has been to a Grand Slam final before. He's a threat to anyone, and he has already won a title this year. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Yes, but Clemente's an accomplished player nevertheless. Melzer appears to be building more stability recently, so he's a favourite. We never know about him, though.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
comfidence can do alot. clement proabably feels alittle un-tested on clay even though he won his match. unlike melzer who feels right at home when he walks on to the court _________________
Yes. Melzer has already got to a final (was it Houston?) on clay, so he'll feel just great on the clay. I think Clement is more of a hard court player, so the clay might be a slight challenge for him. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
I just did, and it was funny. He's going to buy some fake DVD's in a city that "looks a little dangerous to me".... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
