Valencia - 2014 - ATP 500

[GameSetAndMath]

The Valencia draw is out. Three of the six contenders are participating. They are Ferrer, Berdych and Murray.
Kei Nishikori and Marin Cilic were originally in the players list, but both of them withdrew; Kei due to injuries and Marin due to personal reasons (celebrating the WTF qualification?).

The fourth seed is Felician Lopez. Murray and Ferrer fell in the same half. If they actually
play each other (a high chance), it will be their third post USO match.

16 year old Stefan Kozlov of USA is playing in Valencia as he got a wild card there.
There is a nice article on this chap at ATP website.

Stefan has already made it into top 500 of the regular ranking charts and is playing
Martin Klizan in the first round at Valencia. I doubt he will win, but it would be a good
experience for him.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kozlov lost promptly. But, managed to win three games in each set. That should be
considered a good performance given his age and his ranking and his opponent.

 

[Denis]

Thanks GSM for pointing that out. We will see what will come of him. Interesting that his parents are from Macedonia, such a small country.

Simon lost too, I guess he's tired and he absolutely has to be fresh for DC's final so have some rest Gilles

Murray safely into the quarterfinals after cruising past a helpless Fognini. 6-2 6-4

 

[isabelle]

Murray won, hope he can win Valencia

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, we have a third clash in a row between fourth active player to win 30 or more titles and the fourth active player to win 600 or more matches with WTF entry implications. They are now even
in the fall with 1-1 score.

Chardy / Robredo should be interesting but Andy / Daveeed is the real final

Murray-Ferrer is the match of the day for sure. Who has more left in the tank?
Looks like Ferrer based on their last couple of matches, but you never know.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Robredo will want to avenge himself here for losing the last encounter against Murray having held 5 match points in their Shenzhen match.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

First set to Tommy, Andy looking spent at the moment.

 

[Front242]

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Solid set from Robredo. He took the first 6-3.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Is it face today?

 

[kskate2]

T-Rob is broken in the first game of the 2nd frame. Andy w/ the momentum

 

[Front242]

Back on serve now.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Robredo hitting some nice shots at the moment, totally has the momentum.

 

[Front242]

^ Totally should've won their last match too and be 5-4 up in the h2h. On target to even it out now.
