Moscow

Singles – Second Round: (Q) E Roger-Vasselin def. (1) A Dolgopolov 6-3 5-7 7-6(8-6)

Edouard Roger-Vasselin saved four match points in the course of this match — and cost Alexandr Dolgopolov his chance to return to the Top Twenty.

Singles – Second Round: (2) A Seppi def. I Sijsling 7-5 6-2

The points don’t count yet for Andreas Seppi. They will with his next match, but he needs a final to climb.

Singles – Second Round: (4) T Bellucci def. F Cipolla 6-4 6-1

There is no question now; Thomaz Bellucci will be returning to the Top Forty.

Singles – Second Round: J Janowicz def. (7) C Berlocq 6-3 6-4

Jerzy Janowicz is establishing an interesting pattern: If he wins one ATP match, he generally wins the next one also.

Singles – Second Round: I Karlovic def. A Bogomolov Jr. 7-6(13-11) 6-4

Ivo Karlovic is still far below the Top Hundred; our rough cut shows him around #120. But he is finally moving in the right direction — slowly.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (WC) Donskoy/Kunitsyn def. Bautista-Agut/Sijsling 6-3 3-6 10-6 (Match TB)

Stockholm

Singles – Second Round: (1) J Tsonga def. G Soeda 6-2 7-6(8-6)

Once again Go Soeda falls short of the Top Fifty. For Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, this is piffle — he is holding three 250 point titles; he doesn’t need more!

Singles – Second Round: (2) T Berdych def. J Zopp 6-1 6-4

No points for Tomas Berdych yet, either — he needs a final. Which still means he has a better chance of adding points than Tsonga.

Singles – Second Round: S Stakhovsky def. (5) F Lopez 7-6(7-5) 7-5

Feliciano Lopez remains stuck below #30 — we show him at #34 in safe points.

Singles – Second Round: (7) M Baghdatis def. A Falla 6-0 3-0 retired (Left Foot)

We show Marcos Baghdatis still at #33 — but needing only two more points to start climbing. A semifinal could take him to #31. In any case, his chances of an Australian Open seed are starting to look pretty decent.

Doubles – First Round: (1) Lindstedt/Zimonjic def. (Alt) Rosenholm/Sekulic 6-3 6-0

Doubles – First Round: Baghdatis/Nieminen def. Kamke/Marx 6-3 6-2

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (3) Melo/Soares def. Fleming/Hutchins 7-5 6-3

Doubles – Quarterfinal: Anderson/Erlich def. (WC) B Baker/Siljestrom 6-2 6-3

Vienna

Singles – Second Round: (2) J Tipsarevic def. (WC) E Gulbis 6-3 6-4

Janko Tipsarevic lost in the doubles, so now he gets to concentrate on singles where he belongs — but he needs to defend his title here to make any real difference in race or rankings.

Singles – Second Round: (3) T Haas def. J Levine 6-4 6-2

Alexandr Dolgopolov’s loss at Moscow means that Tommy Haas’s Top Twenty spot is guaranteed, but he needs a title to climb.

Singles – Second Round: M Matosevic def. (WC) D Thiem 6-3 7-6(7-5)

Marinko Matosevic, to our surprise, is now right on the brink of the Top Fifty.

Singles – Second Round: P Lorenzi def. (Q) V Pospisil 6-4 6-4

The loss means that Vacek Pospisil won’t be making the Top Hundred at this time.

Singles – Second Round: (Q) G Zemlja def. M Ebden 7-5 6-4

Even though Grega Zemlja is a qualifier here, this isn’t even close to an upset; Zemlja came in at #70, Matthew Ebden at #120.

Singles – Second Round: A Bedene def. D Young 7-6(7-4) 6-7(2-7) 6-3

Donald Young remains stuck in the #175 range. Australian Open qualifying, here we come.

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (1) Melzer/Peya def. Tipsarevic/Waske 6-7(4-7) 6-4 10-8 (Match TB)

Doubles – Quarterfinal: Begemann/Emmrich def. Bedene/Zemlja 6-4 6-3
