Marsel Lost in First Round

We wish the best for the rest...

Marsel in China Open Main Draw!

Marsel is in China Open and he made main draw with wins over Feng with 61-60 and Serra 76(7)-62. Seems like he got over from his İzmir final performance and went back to his form before the final. Last time we haven't been posting nor to jinx him but i didn't know that and ruined it i suppose. This time we didn't post till qualifying ended and here he is!

His draw is here. He got Lopez in the first round. Tough match but Marsel can handle it. In Marsel we trust!

Come on Marsel!

Marsel Lost To Cipolla

Marsel lost to Flavio Cipolla in straight sets.

Marsel got broken and went down 0-2 in the beginning. Then he broke Cipolla two times in a row and got the *3-2 lead. Suddenly, he got broken again. Marsel faced set point on his serve at *5-6. He saved the first set point but got broken in the second.

After losing the tight first set, Marsel couldn't fight anymore in the second set. He got bagelled and lost early in Washington.

Can Uner who is Marsel's coach, just after the match said that Marsel was ill. Hopefully he can recover and can get ready for Canada Masters qualies. He will play there this weekend. Good luck Marsel!

Marsel is in Washington!

His draw is here!

After losing in 2nd round of Hamburg (you can ask the details abot it to Russell, he followed the matches :) ) he will join another ATP 500 event in Washington.

Marsel was not in elimination list and he attended as the 3rd alternate in this event. So no elimination points this time. To get 20 points he should beat Cipolla in the first round and we trust him. In the second round he will face seeded Tursunov, who is facing form issues at the moment .

Come on Marsel!

Marsel qualified for Hamburg!

Marsel lost to Eric Prodon in Sopot in straight sets and went to Hamburg for ATP 500 tournament. He played the qualifying at the weekend and got two easy wins against Puc and Navarro.

He will face Philipp Petzschner from Germany in the first round today. The match will start at 11.00AM local time and will be on centre court. Petzschner is the favourite for sure but Marsel has a chance. Good luck Marsel!

Marsel Lost in Qualifying

So close but wasn't meant to be. Score is 64-57-67(5)

Marsel was relaxed in the first set and he won it with one break of serve. Right at the beginning of the second set he was broken but he broke back. We were expecting a tie-break but he couldn't hold his serve to stay in the set. In the third he broke, then got broken, broke again and got broken again. In the tie-break game he went up to 5-2 but it just didn't happen.

Sigh... Let whatever be the that's best for him...

Marsel at Barcelona

Marsel is playing in Barcelona qualifications this weekend. He played his first match yesterday against Spanish wildcard Ignacio Coll-Riudavets and won pretty easily. (6-2, 6-2) Didn't faced a single break point on his serve.

Today, in his second match of the qualifications, he'll play against Benoit Paire. Frenchman beat Conor Niland in his first match with 4-6/6-0/6-3. Marsel and Paire didn't play before in their carreers. Winnable match for Marsel. Come on!
