In this tournament he faced some physical problems. Cramps and stuff like that. It was important for him to save his 41 points and he managed that.

Russell says that he changed his schedule a little bit. He is skipping Barletta challenger and will have an extra week before Monza challenger. If he can win 4 matches there that would lead him to main draw of Roland Garros.

Focus Marsel!

Marsel beats Kamke again

Marsel defeated Kamke easily in his first round match at Miami Masters (6-2, 6-1).

Marsel won the first four games and got the 4-0 lead in the opening. Then, both player holded their service games easily and Marsel won the set, 6-2. Marsel gets the early break in the second set, too. After that, he saved a break point on himself serve and breaks him again. Marsel got another break at the and for making it 6-1.

The match lasted only 52 minutes. Surely, that's an advantage for Marsel. Because, he had some cramping problems in his match against Farah yesterday. It was a comfortable win for Marsel and he'll have an off day tomorrow. He'll play against 16th seed Viktor Troicki of Serbia on Friday.

Good luck Marsel!

Marsel is Facing Kamke

A player he already beated!

Marsel is playing with Kamke in first round. As we all know he beated him in Le Gosier last week. If he beats him again, he will play Troicki.

The only thing that bugs us is he will be playing today. He played for 3 hours yerterday. He will be in Court 8, his match is the third in a serie that will start in 11:00 am local time.

Come on Marsel!

Note: There ara rumours that Marsel got a virus, there was a huge decline in Marsel's fitness in the second set and he had medical time outs for cramps in the third.

What a win for Marsel!

What a match!

Marsel won the first set easily, then had triple bps in the first game of the second set, he couldn't converted them. Farah gets the break at 6-5 and won the set. In the third set Marsel won 12 points in a row at 2-1* and leads the third set 4-2*. Farah got break back for 4-4. At 5-4, he had 2MPs on Marsel's serve (30-40 on second serve and 40-A). Marsel holds, then breaks from 30-0. Finally, holds to love and won the set 7-5.
