Nice
Singles – Semifinal: A Montanes def. (WC) E Roger-Vasselin 6-4 4-6 6-0
Albert Montanes reaches his first final since Kitzbuhel 2011. It’s probably a last hurrah, but it’s still nice to see.
Singles – Semifinal: (WC) G Monfils def. P Andujar 7-5 6-4
Quite the day for comebacks — now we just have to hope Gael Monfils doesn’t find a new way to injure himself. He rises to around #80, and we’d say he’s the favorite in the final.
Doubles – Semifinal: Cabal/Farah def. Mahut/Roger-Vasselin 6-3 1-6 10-6
Dusseldorf
Singles – Semifinal: (3) (WC) J Monaco def. (Q) G Pella 6-4 7-6(10-8)
Despite the loss, a pretty big event for Guido Pella, who should hit the Top Hundred. Juan Monaco rises to #18; win the title and he is #17.
Singles – Semifinal: (6) J Nieminen def. I Sijsling 7-5 4-6 6-3
The good news is, Jarkko Nieminen is now up to about #38. The bad news is, he’s in another final. And finals really aren’t his thing….
Doubles – Semifinal: (3) Huey/Inglot def. (1) Fleming/Marray 6-2 6-7(2-7) 10-5
Doubles – Semifinal: Begemann/Emmrich def. (4) Nielsen/Sa 6-6(9-11) 6-1 12-10 .
