Both very strong events - will be interesting to see who comes to the top in both. Rafa and Andy keeping their powder dry for Paris it would seem.
I take it Andy is not playing then. Maybe good for him to have a rest.

@darren_cahill (http://twitter.com/#!/darren_cahill) @xenon21 (http://twitter.com/#!/xenon21) oh thanks Darren. I'm pleased about that. Is he defending his doubles title w Jamie too or just singles?
This could be interesting ... normally the 'scoop' on something like this would be the prerogative of the Tournament Director by announcing a Wild Card and to date Valencia haven't done that.

Milos is so I will be watching Valencia quite closely. He was practising with Ferru today.
stu_fraser Stuart Fraser
Good to see James Ward giving Valencia qualifying a shot. Plays world No.83 Pere Riba, of Spain, tomorrow. Has to win two matches to qualify
I'm certain Rafa won't be playing Valencia. But most of the Spanish and French players are, plus Dogopolov. All the players I like to watch, except Andy. In Basle, apart from Andy, it's all the players I'm not very interested in.

Yuck! Milos gets Cilic in the first round. I hope Cilic is tired from his final this weekend.
Tennistv have now added Valencia to their schedule :cheer: (only from Thursday though :sad:)

There were supposed streams but all of them were showing some kind of sailing competition instead. I have a feeling that the Spanish tv coverage cut off after the previous match had ended. Was so disappointing.

Sad news.
Having come through Qualifying, and yesterday beating Garcia-Lopez in R1, Nicolas Mahut has had to withdraw from Valencia. Apparently his nephew has died and Nicolas wishes to be with his family.

Poor Nicolas. His nephew was probably very young. :grouphug:

Pico beat Almagro, hurrah! I so hope he does well here, he really needs the points.
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 13:56
Milos was pants today. Cilic was nowhere near his best, second serves all over the place, 0-30 down in several games yet STILL Milos couldn't break and lost 4-6 4-6. Frustrating to say the least.
Vashy vs Ferru up next.
Milos was awful :help: hope Pospi can do better !!
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 14:08
Vashy was broken in his first game. I think this may be a very quick match. :sad:
he looks awful 2day too , still early tho , hopefully he can improve
3-0 Ferrer , not unexpected
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 14:22
Two breaks but finally managed to get a game. Just shows how good Ferru is and yet even he isn't as good as the top four. Yikes!
I wish even more that Andy & Jamie had played Valencia now. Maybe this freak injury wouldn't have happened. :sad:
Does anyone else think Pospi plays a bit like Andy ???
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 15:33
I don't. I think he's got a long way to go to be even close to Andy. He was evens with Ferru in the second set then lost his service game after being 40-0 up! :shocked:
I didnt mean hes anywhere near as good as Andy RL ..... I was talking about the style
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 15:36
Ok then, maybe. Time will tell. He's got a decent all-round game - better than Milos, I'll say that.
Ferru wins 6-3 6-3. At least Vashy wasn't bagelled. I think he played some points very well, just needs more consistency.
Have not been able to find a stream for Valencia all day :sad:
RoastLamb
02-11-2011, 21:11
Fromsport had streams. Good ones, too. Strange how you didn't get them.
They listed three streams. One was cancelled due to copyright infringement. One wanted my phone number details, and the other required me to install software and also give details.
Oh, I'm so disappointed! Feli was a set and a break up but finally lost to Bogmologov in a 3rd set tb :sad:

I've only watched him play once - I can't remember where it was - but I also though that he has something of Andy's style about him.

Pity both Monfils and Tsonga are now out here, good win for Granollers though!
Pico is a set and a break up against Ferrero - vamos Pico! :swingin:
And he wins 6-3, 6-3 :cheer: :cheer:
Well, that will be a very nice match to watch tomorrow evening, Ferru v Pico :)

I was crossing my fingers that Sky would show Basel so I could see Andy. Now I wish they'd stayed with Valencia - vamos Pico!!! :cheer::cheer:
I can't watch livestream, our broadband is shocking. I'd end up head-butting the monitor, and I can't afford a replacement (head or monitor). It'll be livescores and a slice of imagination for me.

Granollers takes the first set from Potty 6-4
Ferru v Pico just started :)
After coming back from 0-3, Monaco is now about to serve for the first set! I wonder if Northern Lights is watching it?
. . . and Pico takes the set 7-5. After a strong start, Ferru has completely gone off the boil.
. . . Ferru storms to another 3-0 lead at the start of the 2nd - can he hold onto it this time?
. . . Ferru takes the second set 6-1 so we're into a decider!
. . . Pico getting his lower back massaged - looks to be in pain :sad:
. . . Ferru started off well in the third but after a disputed line call he has completely fallen apart. Pico leads 5-2.
. . . And Monaco wins 7-5, 1-6, 6-3
NorthernLights
05-11-2011, 21:34
Yes I was (in a manner of speaking - live-scores) and I've just stopped bouncing around the house. Hurrah!!! This must mean so much to him just weeks before the DC. Well done Pico! :swingin::cheer:
I hope his back's ok for tomorrow. Yay, come on Juan, take the title!
Thank you for the run-down, Linda!
Nice to see Pico doing well again, it's been a long time since he did (though Ferru is one of my favourites so I didn't really mind who won). I think I put Pico in my Top 8 prediction so I was way out there - perhaps he'll make it next year!

Hoo! I think Granollers will have the Spanish crowd behind him in the Final but I wish Pico well.
:thumbup:
More especially I hope he takes it to 3 sets so's Marcel is knackered ahead of Paris. Andy has a 3-0 H2H v Chardy and 2-0 v Gran so I suppose it doesn't matter who he plays but a bushed opponent in R2 might be useful.
:whistle:

Blimey - they're still playing in Valencia!
Bryans v Melo/Soares and it stayed on serve so they're into a tie-break for the first set.
The Americans are 5-2 up but t'others about to serve.
The winners play Butorac/Rojer.
I'd love for Booty to win the title here!

[WC] J Monaco (ARG) vs M Granollers (ESP)
[1] B Bryan (USA) / M Bryan (USA) vs E Butorac (USA) / J Rojer (AHO)
Granollers is playing extremely well! I think maybe the Spanish DC team should dump Verdasco, who's been rubbish lately, and put Granollers in instead.
What an incredible point! This is an absolutely fabulous match!

I'm watching the WTA Fed Cup dubs final. Neither of the men's finals interest me today.
After tennistv worked perfectly for the first two sets, in this set it just keeps buffering. Completely spoiling my viewing :sad:
I rebooted my router and it's been fine since :)
We're into a tb in the final set now - exciting stuff!
The sole of Granollers' shoe just came right off! :shocked:
And Granollers wins 6-2, 4-6, 7-6

:crying: Gutted!
NorthernLights
06-11-2011, 17:16
But thanks for all the info anyway Linda! He came so close, but it was clear even from the stats on LS that Granollers played better on the day. I just hope Pico gets a chance to play DC.
Maybe they will both play in the DC final in a few weeks!
Granollers has played magnificently this week, so well done to him. I wonder if they will both be able to keep this good form going?
I hope Granollers doesn't - he's Andy's probable second round opponent in Paris! Bad luck Pico - so near and yet so far!
Commiserations to Monaco - really hoped he'd win. Congratulations to Granollers. :cheer:
Great match what I saw of it - wish I'd watched this instead of the Basel final which was predictable and :sleepy:
JAMES4578
07-11-2011, 13:27
Certainly was a good week for Granollers and Monaco showing good form too! Of course Andy could face Granollers could face Andy in Paris if he overcomes Chardy.
