Shame; he would have been the No. 1 seed
Looking forward to seeing Nadal in action though. They seem to be mainly using his image to sell tickets

Who wouldn't?!
Rafael Nadal pulls out of Rotterdam (https://www.abnamrowtt.nl/en/news/headlines/44th-edition/rafael-nadal-pulls-out-of-rotterdam) on the advice of his doctors.

What a shame for the tournament and, even more so, for Rafa

Won't look forward to watching this like I was before. Both Rafa and Stan out. Deprived of the two biggest names.
It looks like Andy got a call (along with the rest of the top 5 and Federer) from Krajicek to make up the numbers. Probably could've named their own price. Cilic is now top seed with Thiem (who has just lost in Sofia to Basilashvili :shocked:) second. How a field can bloom and die in 24 hours. ;)
Just saw this, so dissapoited I was looking forward to this tournie. But I am looking forward to seeing Berdy, goff and jo willie back. There are still many good players and good match ups. Hoping Goff gets the win. Berdy will be looking to make a start on getting back to the top 10 but with no 11, 12, 13 and 14 all in action I'm sure it will be on all their minds. Success here could change a few rankings with so many players close in points.
Also after losing out in their 250s theim and cilic will have something to prove
Seems nick withdrew for no reason http://metro.co.uk/2017/02/10/nick-kyrgios-not-involved-in-nba-celebrity-game-despite-pulling-out-of-atp-rotterdam-open-6439355/
Has Nadal become tired overnight as uncle Toni said yesterday that he was pain free and well
Even with all the withdrawals, still some quality first round matches in prospect.

Really looking forward to Zverev v theim and mischa v Dimi. Mahut v Simon will be interesting too

Rotterdam - Herbert df Lopez 7-6 7-6
Hasse df Mayer 7-5 7-6
Donskoy df granollers 6-4 6-4

Played well in patches
Rotterdam updates - winners from yesterday Cilic who plays coric in the next round. Comic came through after the battle of the #nextgen against khachanov.
Muller and tsonga through and play each other later today. Klizan and kolhscriber also came through and playing each other now. Kohl has taken the first set in a breaker and they are on serve in the second. Simon also came through, against mahut in 3 sets.
Rotterdam - today Herbert d donskoy 6-2 7-6 gasguet d troicki 64 6-3 and is through to face Berdy. Goffin came through against kuznetsov 63 62 and plays hasse in the next round.
Action between Dimi and mischa Zverev is getting under way and later it will be Alexander Zverev v theim and miller - tsonga. It's showing on sky sports 1 and sky sports mix
Rotterdam Dimi df mischa 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 and plays istomin in the next round. Klizan df kohl 6-7, 6-4, 6-1 and the match do the day for me was theim df Alex Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and plays Simon in the next round.

Certainly tough Thiem and Alex Zverev meeting so early but quality encounter, pity both couldn't have reasonable run.

Thanks for the update. Pleased Thiem got a win again
Some nice things said about Zverev from theim. http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/thiem-rotterdam-2017-wednesday
I think it would have been a tough ask for Zverev to go deep this week after picking up his second career title last week and the win in the doubles. I would have like the win for him but it was a great match to watch with my dinner.

Some detail on the day's play
Rotterdam Berdy df gasguet 7-6 6-1 cilic currently playing coric and is a break up in the first set
Rotterdam - cilic df coric 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 goffin also had a 3 setter df hasse 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. It was more straight forward for theim df Simon 6-4, 7-6 and Dimi df istomin 7-6, 6-1.
Tomorrow's quarter finals Berdy v klizan, cilic v tsonga, a rematch of last week's finals Dimi v goffin and theim v Herbert.

Rotterdam tsonga df cilic :) it was close in two tie breaks but he got the W and that's all that matters 7-6 7-6. He will play Berdy in the semis. Berdy df klizan 6-3 6-3.
The other two quarters will be on later. http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/cilic-thiem-goffin-berdych-rotterdam-2017-friday
Really absorbing fascinating match now between Dimi and Goffin. 1 set all. Really enjoying it.

I have to say though I am hoping for a goff win. Dimi won last week it's only fair :)
Well Goffin off to a good start in set 3! I am neutral...like them both!

Goffin wins :clap: I like them both too but Goff is a particular fave, so pleased he came through. Perfect timing too - just in time for me to watch the new foreign drama on More4.
Really good match. It's so good to watch 2 players who are as evenly matched as they are.
It was a good match. So glad goff got the win after last week. It is his first win over Dimi. My guess is that his opponent tomorrow will be a theim and there will be another great match. Fingers crossed. I'd like to see goff and tsonga in the final.
Currently on serve in theim v Herbert
Rotterdam - well I called that one wrong. Herbert df theim 6-4, 7-6 and plays goff tomorrow

Surprised and disappointed really that Herbert put out Thiem, still great run for the Frenchman more noted for doubles. Would've preferred Dimitrov to come through but certainly fan of Goffin too, happy though Tsonga got better of Cilic!

A win for Goff against Herbert today would not only take him into the ATP500 final it would take him into the top10...Go Goff!
I was surprised by the win from Herbert. I was looking forward to a match between theim and goff. Just watched the tsonga v Berdy game. Berdy just wasn't very good at all, he didn't seem to believe, he has the winning record but his return game just there. No challenges really on 2nd serve. No break point opportunities for him. He needs to reasses what he's doing and find his belief. Looked very down walking off court. Great for tsonga though. Glad he is through, he deserved it. 6-3 6-4
Goff v herbert later.
The first semi in Rotterdam was a bit of an anti climax. Berdy too erratic, Jo-W played well but was never really challenged. Only lasted 72 minutes.

Not the best contest and Berdy was struggling, however still pleased Tsonga is in the final, imagine Goffin will join him though suppose he can't underestimate Herbert.
Looks like it will be goff at the moment as he is 6-1 4-1 up
Today's win from tsonga gets him up to 400 career wins http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/tsonga-berdych-rotterdam-2017-saturday
Another one sided SF! Goffin all over P-H! Looking forward to the final. Possibly a Goffin win?
roytennisfan
18-02-2017, 20:21
A really solid win by Goffin into top10 above Monfils, another win in the final would take him up to #8 above Thiem and Federer
Looking at the live rankings today's win out goff in 10 and tsonga at 12. A win tomorrow for goff could see him up to 7 whereas for tsonga it would move him to 11 and back to the French number 1. Its hard to decide who I'd like to win most. But probably goffin if I had to pick. Really wouldn't mind if it's was tsonga though.
Seems like Herbert may be tired from his singles match. He and mahut are 3-0 down in the doubles
Sorry Roy just saw this after I put mine. What I get for spending so long typing and then leaving it for a bit lol. I thought it was 7 he'd go up to
Keith, aka Kei, has his hands full in B Aires at the moment. He is playing not only 34 year old Berlocq but most of the spectators as well who are, of course, 100% behind their man! Great atmosphere, bit like DC. Keith has just levelled the match, so it's 1 set all. Winner plays Dolgopolov in final tomorrow.
Keith finally prevailed, thanks mostly to his superior shot making, but he really had to work hard for it. Entertaining match.
Tsonga wins Rotterdam. 4:6, 6:4, 6:1 - pleased for him, simply because I have a soft spot for him, and he is not as young as Goffin.

Well done big Jo :clap: better luck next time Goff :sad:

I was quite pleased Tsonga won and he certainly turned it around, well done Jo! Happy David reached top 10 though and made early running, even if he didn't have great deal of resistance in the decider.
And I loved both their speeches at the end! Jo-W so unassuming....how shy he looked when he held up the trophy.

Great comeback from a set down from JWT. I didn't really mind who won as like them both, good to see them both doing well
And Dolgopolov has beaten Keith in 2 sets to take the B Aires title! Why did Keith play in that event I wonder? I didn't think clay was his thing? Perhaps I'm wrong?

Maybe to improve his clay game? He must have thought he'd get a few matches in here which he did.
