Serbia weakened by the lack of Novak Djokovic, for the second time in the last three years claimed World Team Cup. It was a perfect tournament for both singles players: Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki, who won all their 4 singles matches, especially the former showed great form winning 17 straight games (!) at the start of the tournament (Zovko, Bogomolov), then beating Kohlschreiber in a dramatic duel (needed seven match points) and finally

Hello Voo de Mar,
Few words about Brian Baker, qualified and finalist in Nice after he saved match point versus Kukushkin in Qf… Is one of incredible player, he make this year his come back on the professional tour, his last tournament was in the US open 2005 vs Malisse and today for the 1st tour of Roland Garros, he won his first match in a Grand Slam versus Malisse again! 7 years later to come back like that! Incredible! He won in 3 sets today… 🙂
Yeah, amazing story, I saw a couple points of his match with Gaudio (UO ’05) and completely forgot about the guy…
…I almost forgot the double, especially The Bryans, they won their 78th tournaments, but the most important stat about the twins is on Mike Bryan. With his victory at Nice, he reached his 80th tournaments won in his career and he’s close to Todd Woodbridge with his 83 trophies, the record with the most double title in open era! Tennis history is written by them too! 🙂
Good day Voo de Mar!
Bravo à Baker (Comeback of the decade ?) mais Simon va le battre 😉
Maybe the comeback of the decade, we’ll see that at the end of the season, but I think this guy is a very strong player (especially mentally) and Roger Federer himself wish sincerely play against him during the tour, he was impressed by his game and his incredible come back, 7 years after his last tournament in a grand slam!!!
Simon a battu Baker, cependant c’était un match très difficile pour Simon qui jusqu’au début du cinquième set n’était pas sûr de gagner… Ce qui était encore incroyable est que l’américain joué son match un cinquième set en bousculant l’un des meilleurs joueurs au monde, une tête de série!
(english translation)… 🙂
Well, it was hard match for Simon, the frenchman was doubted all the time front of Baker and what is incredible, the american player played his first 5th set, threatening seriously the french seed player! Simon was scared to lose and he stayed in the doubt a very long time… Baker is one of player to follow this year if he builds a good physical condition, with his solid game and his strong mental, he could succeed a lot of good thing, a really good surprise for the tennis.
