Montreal – 3R
Viktor Troicki [15] just like Nadal yesterday, lost a match in which had opportunities to win both losing sets; taking into account the progress of his match with Gael Monfils [7], I’m prone to say that his loss is more painful than Nadal’s one. Troicki was a dominant figure through a set and a half, he led 6-3, 4:3* (30-0), but Monfils managed to hold his serve winning a spectacular point at 15-30 in that game, which gave him the first reason for the fist pump. The Frenchman survived three match points serving at 5:6 – Troicki had the best chance on the first match point but missed awfully, trying to finish it off with a backhand down the line. The Serb had the match in his hands again in the 3rd set, led 5:3, and was serving at 5:4 (30 all) – made a double fault… In the tie-break he saved three consecutive match points, but on the fourth, Monfils fired an ace followed by a little dance of victory. Troicki has distincitvely the worst m.p. record among the tennis elite: 1-7 #.
