Men Daily Tennis News- Barcelona, Bucharest, Ranking
Barcelona
Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) R Nadal def. (5) J Tipsarevic 6-2 6-2
Rafael continues to play like a player with not just one but maybe seven or eight healthy knees. He is now more than a thousand points ahead of Roger Federer in the contest for #2.
Singles – Quarterfinal: (11) M Raonic def. (3) A Murray 6-4 7-6(7-3)
Clay is pretty definitely the best surface on which to ambush Andy Murray — but who would have thought Milos Raonic would be the one to do it? Raonic is up to about #22, and could be Top Twenty if he can make the final. And, after this, who knows — maybe he can.
Singles – Quarterfinal: (3) D Ferrer def. (7) F Lopez 6-7(4-7) 7-6(9-7) 6-3
This took two and three-quarter hours, and David Ferrer had to save three match points, so Ferrer will be at a significant handicap in the semifinal — and he can’t rise in the rankings anyway. Feliciano Lopez can’t, either; he remains below the Top Fifteen.
Singles – Quarterfinal: (9) F Verdasco def. (8) K Nishikori 4-2, retired
Lopez can’t rise, but he probably won’t fall, either, because Kei Nishikori can’t pass him. Fernando Verdasco is at #18/#19; a final would tie him with Nishikori for #17; a title would make him #16.
Doubles – Quarterfinal: (8) Marach/Peya def. (1) Bryan/Bryan Walkover (B. Bryan Stomach Virus)
Doubles – Quarterfinal: (2) Mirnyi/Nestor def. (6) S Gonzalez/Kas 7-5 6-4
And so the contest for #1 is going to stay interesting for a while….
Doubles – Quarterfinal: Granollers/M Lopez def. (3) Bhupathi/Zimonjic 7-5 3-6 10-5 (Match TB)
Doubles – Quarterfinal: (4) Fyrstenberg/Matkowski def. (7) Qureshi/Rojer 6-3 6-6(8-10) 10-7 (Match TB)
Bucharest
Singles – Quarterfinal: (1) G Simon def. (7) L Kubot 3-6 6-1 6-3
Still no movement for Gilles Simon; he remains #12. A title would make him #11.
Singles – Quarterfinal: F Fognini def. (6) A Seppi 6-4 6-7(4-7) 6-4
Andreas Seppi is still stuck below #45.
Singles – Quarterfinal: M Bachinger def. (Q) D Brands 6-4 6-1
This will not put Matthias Bachinger back in the Top Hundred, but he’s very close.
Singles – Quarterfinal: (Q) A Balazs def. X Malisse 4-6 6-3 6-4
Attila Balazs is certainly having a fine debut! He has more than doubled his points, and will rise from #450 to just below #250.
Doubles – Semifinal: (1) Lindstedt/Tecau def. Hanley/Kerr 5-7 6-4 10-8 (Match TB)
Doubles – Semifinal: Chardy/Kubot def. (4) Cerretani/Fognini 6-3 6-2
Correction
Several times in the last few days we have called Bucharest “Budapest.” C’mon, you’ve done it too…..
