As he looks to wrap up a disappointing year on a positive note, Grigor Dimitrov booked a spot in the If Stockholm Open quarterfinals by beating Nicolas Almagro 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday.
Local resident Philipp Kohlschreiber, who cycled from his house to the Kitzbühel Tennis Club each day this week, completed a dream week Saturday by lifting his sixth ATP World Tour title.
Sixth seed Philipp Kohlshcreiber will face Paul-Henri Mathieu, the first qualifier to reach the Generali Open final, for the title on Saturday.
Down 4-6, 1-5, Martin Klizan was staring down the barrel. It was the first round of qualifying for the China Open; his opponent, World No. 927 Xin Gao. Somehow, the Slovakian cheated death — saving four match points — to ride his way into the main draw. On 3 October, after victories over Leonardo Mayer and Ernests Gulbis, the World No. 56 was still alive.
The first full day of men's second-round action at the U.S. Open will take place on Thursday. Among those in action are former champions Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, who are still on a collision course for the quarterfinals. Djokovic is going up against Paul-Henri Mathieu while Murray is facing Matthias Bachinger.
Andy Murray returned to where his glorious grass-court journey started twelve months ago and immediately picked up where he left off.
Just about halfway through the season, Dominic Thiem has pretty much already locked up ATP Newcomer of the Year honors. The 20-year-old Austrian started the 2014 campaign at No. 139 in the world and he is already up to 57th.
Juan Martin Del Potro is still feeling pain in the wrist injury that hampered him at last month’s Australian Open and subsequently sent him for consultations and treatment at the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Andy Murray had very complimentary words for his opponent here -- "I'm sure we will be seeing a lot more of him" -- but this looks depressingly like the way Murray played at the start of the year, before he really got on his feet. He won't make it back to the Top Five at that rate -- but at least he'll get the chance to do better.
So much for any thought of Paul-Henri Mathieu staging some sort of comeback here. He'll remain somewhere far south of #125. But defending champion Richard Gasquet now needs only one more win to keep the #9 ranking.
With players straggling in from Davis Cup, action was slow on the ATP on Monday. Only one main draw match was scheduled, with Paul-Henri Mathieu beating Nicolas Mahut 6-1, 3-0 when Mahut retired with influenza in a poor day of play for any ticketholders.
Sixth seed Fabio Fognini beat fellow Italian Marco Cecchinato 1-6, 6-1, 6-2 while Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu won his first ATP match of the season
