Nicholas Monroe and John Isner beat the team of Marray / Sijsling the scores were 3-6,6-3,10-4. The big deal here its Monroe's first Masters tournament.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has assembled an all-French coaching team which he will be sharing with compatriot Nicolas Mahut.
I spent a couple of hours this morning writing what I thought was a very nice piece about the one and only way Federer could be kept out of qualifying for London. Simple as one-two-three. It was just math.
There really seems to be something wrong with David Ferrer these days. Half a dozen straight finals blown. And that after leading by a break in the second set. Not even the Spanish crowd could hold him together. He was broken four times.
Back to the final for Juan Martin del Potro, who now has almost a thousand point lead on Tomas Berdych in the contest for a year-end Top Five spot. It still looks as if he could end the year at #4, or even #3.
A big opportunity for Daniel Brands -- one more win would likely make him Top Fifty, and he faces an unseeded opponent next.
Tomas Berdych will make his fourth straight appearance at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals after becoming the latest player to qualify for the season finale, to be held at The O2 in London from November 4-11.
Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka’s new rivalry to become Switzerland’s top ranked players take centre stage at this week’s Swiss Indoors event in Basel, with the battle to qualify for the remaining places at the upcoming Barclays ATP World Tour Finals adding extra spice.
Richard Gasquet, we have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is, of course, that he won the title here. It's the tenth title of his career, and his third of 2013. That matches the best previous year of his career, in 2006.
Let's hope this was David Ferrer finally discovering his indoor form and not Ernests Gulbis melting down again. At least Gulbis lasted long enough to put himself in the Top 25; he is likely to end up at #24.
And so Roberta Vinci loses yet another chance to reach the Top Ten; indeed, it appears she will fall a couple of spots. That means the final Top Ten spot would go to either Caroline Wozniacki or Sloane Stephens, who were contesting it at Luxembourg.
There was Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe. Stretching the field, you can talk of Rolls and Royce, Rogers and Hammerstein. But a quartet?
This was a day of upsets, and for a little while, it looked as if our #1 seed might be one of them. He survives -- but it doesn't do him any good in the race or rankings yet; this is too small to count.
German Daniel Brands will aim for a long-odds upset after putting out local Andreas Haider-Maurer 6-4, 7-6 (7/5). The player who stunned Roger Federer in Gstaad last July next plays top seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Czech fifth seed Lucie Safarova began her week with a win over China's Peng Shuai 7-5, 6-4 while Serb Bojana Jovanovski, seeded eighth, beat former French Open winner Francesca Schiavone 6-4, 6-3.
