Rome Draw

We don't have any lack of excitement these days!

Rome Draw is here. Beck, who troubled Marsel in Monza is at the other half of the draw. Task seems easier this time.

Guess what would playing finals would mean for him?

Go Marsel!

Marsel Lost in Quarters

Marsel lost to Beck with 46-76(5)-16 and left Monza.

Beck was playing well in this tournaments according to some viewers. People told in the third set he made some weird unforced errors. We would be very happy if some viewers commented about the match here. :)

We caught Marsel in Barcelona's player list. He also played here last year. He seems to be surrounded by clay courters there...

No matter what Marsel started his clay season with 2 wins and i think he'll get better as he plays.

Show them Marsel!

Edit: But he will be playing Rome Challenger before Barcelona. Stay tuned for his draw.

Marsel continues his run at Monza

Marsel just beats Romania's Victor Crivoi in straight sets at the second round of Monza Challenger (6-2 7-6). His quarter final opponent will be Lukasz Kubot or Andreas Beck. Both of them were top 100 players, but now they're out of top 100 because of injury and form issues. So, they want to get their form and top 100 spots back and both will be tough and dangerous opponents for Marsel.

We watched this match by the agency of live stream. Marsel breaks Crivoi's serve early in the first set. But Crivoi got break back quickly. Marsel breaks him once again and this time he holds his service game easily and got up 4-1 in the first. End of the set, Marsel, who continued playing and serving very well, got another break mostly due to Crivoi's unforced errors. (6-2)

Marsel saved a break point in the opening game of the second set and got break up again, 3-1. Just like the first set, he got broken back quickly. Later of that set, while Crivoi holding easily on his service games, Marsel was always in the trouble. He saved two break points at 5-5, then played a good tiebreak to snatch the match (7-4).

Marsel played better in this match. Especially, he was playing very limited unforced errors, was making good returns and was serving very well until the middle of the second set. If he plays final in here, probably he'll get direct main draw spot for Roland Garros. We needs another two matches. Come on Marsel!

No Marsel in Doubles

... like there is no Marsel there.

Today we waited for his doubles match but it never started. In OOP it was right after Pospisil-Olaso match. When we checked tomorrow's OOP we saw Battistone-Huey team would be playing Reister-Robert team.

We hope there is not a problem... Marsel will be playing on center court in 3rd match tomorrow. Session will start at 11am.

Marsel? Are you there???

Edit: TTF Announced this was because of Rosol's health issues.

Unseen Photos From America

Marsel added new photos on his web site when he got back.

Marsel's Doubles Draw

Marsel will be playing doubles tomorrow. His draw is here.

He formed a team up with Rosol and their first opponents are Battistone and Huey. Battistone is the guy with the weird racquet.

Come on Marsel & Rosol!

Marsel Started With a Win!

6-4 3-6 7-6(5)!

Russell catched the last parts of the match. As he says Marsel played a few good points when he was down at 5-5 and 15-40. Also he went up to 15-30 but he finished off with tie-break.

He will play with Crivoi or Ianni next. No singles match tomorrow.

Go ahead Marsel!
