order of play for Valencia:

grigor has some potential. he is a tall chap with some weapons.

he should be able to move up the ladder. he is young enough so he has time.

this was a good learning experience for him. he had to be a little intimidated today.

he most assuredly had his chances to push the battle to the final frame.


it is looking like a roger vs del potro final. del potro is on fire right now.


and one of the reasons he is doing so well is because he has been working hard on his serve. now he has made it into a big time weapon.

he has a great return to go along with that big serve so he has become a big threat on quicker surfaces.


that is what makes nole so great also: he has the big serve and he has a even bigger return. and then he cleans it all up with his ruthless movement and his ground game.


contrast that with nadal`s game. nadal has to get it all done with his ground game, his will, and his wheels.

very interesting draw for paris masters:

I have been looking for a heavyweight battle between nole and roger on indoor hard courts. we might get it here in paris.


only question is this: how hard will roger try in paris if he locks up his spot for WTF with a title in Basel?

del potro took the first set 6-4.

del potro:

3 finals in 3 weeks.

Pospisil reminds of Berdych a bit with his natural ability of making a shot using raw power.
