. Its been a long since my last post , but here i continue my career. Ive started US OPEN (master 2 difficulty). I had tough draw as i've said. 1R vs J.Levine - Routine match really , he played well , but not well enough. I took my chances and i've won 6/3 6/3 6/2 . Here i must say i had THE INCREDIBLE LUCK.
Federer seeded 4th (possible SF with me) retired against LU
. NADAL seeded 6 (possible QF with me) retired also against ANZARI. That was incredible, my path was already cleared . Djoko , Del potro , murray , wawrinka were all downside. Anyway 2R vs Montanes - no so tough spaniard , easyer match than this vs levine 6/0 6/2 6/1.
3R vs MONACO - bloody damned Monaco. He started on fire broking in my first game and leading up then 3/0. I had zero chances until the end of the set and he won 6/3 .
In the second set i raged , concentrated more and the result came. I was 2 points away from bagelling him , but eventually he won that 1 game and lost 1/6.
Third set was epic , the most epic of all. We started with routine games 2/2. Then he broke me for 3/2 and did 4/2 afterwards. 4/3. 5/3 . 5/4. And he was serving for 6/4 , but i SOMEHOW managed to stay in the set , he led me 40/15 but i've saved both SP points and eventually broke him. We went on tiebreak where i overpowered him . He won 3 points only. This set was crucial beacuse i've lost the 4th set in a bad fashion and if i didnt do the comeback in the third i would have been defeated. In the third set he broke once for 6/4. So 3/6 6/1 7/6 4/6 for now. In the 5th set we both played good , no breaks at all and everything was coming to a tiebreak... but his level droped in his last game for serve for 6/6. I wnet 40/15 on his serve and closed the match on the second MP . Phew 3/6 6/1 7/6 4/6 7/5.
4R vs Almagro - I've expected tough match , but it was the UE Almagro on court not. GOATagro , he fought only in the first set , but i've wont 6/3. Then easy 6/2 6/3.
QF vs Dolgopolov - Oh boy , another Monaco already. First set , not breaks , massive serving and only one break in the TIEBREAK for me 7/6 (5). Second set awful playing by me 2-6 dont want to discuss it. The third set was a concentrated one for me i just did my job nothing more. I wasnt trying net too much , just when necessery. Won 6-3 with one break. I thought he will fight more , because he played amazing for 3 sets , but his level dropped in the 4th set and i broke twice and close the match 7/6 3/6 6/3 6/2. Again i had incredible luck , the another QF was Berdych - Garner (reminder , garner pushed me to 5 sets at wimby LAST YEAR 2014 , when i was with better stats and he wasnt that good) Berdych won in 5. On the down side Del Potro - Djoko , Raonic - Nishikori. I wasnt afraid of raonic , but DJoko on master 2 i've never played , del potro also and nishikori can beat me even on pro 10 i think i was incredibly lucky last time on clay
to beat him 7-6 in third set with 2 net points. The SF were Me - Berdych (:D) Del Po - Nishikori . As it was expected berdych played good , but for 1 set only which i won 7-5 , i just waited his serve to stop going in and that was all. 7-2 6-2 6-4. Well in the final... the better opponent i think - Del Potro. He is a bit slower than nishikori. I can make some winners :d . I am glad that is not Nishikori.
F - Del potro led the first set , played better 6-3 , i returned with the same in the second 6-2 so... 3/6 6/2 . In the third i played even better and his level also dropped i won 6/1. The 4th set was a battle like the first , but i won 6/4 and its 3RD GS TITLE FOR ME THIS YEAR . 3/6 6/2 6/1 6/4. Fantastic year.
My next tournament is Tokyo atp 500. 1R against nobody 6/0 6/0. 2R Started bad against Benneteau , he led 5;3 and served for 6/3 , but i saved 2 sp and managed to get things back on track . Won all of the games after that and closed the first set 7/5. He is +1.5 form of the day , so that i can expect next year
on master 3.
who both beat me and i lost in the groups. Starting my 4th season - Master 2 still , but i changed my forehnad style cause with federer forehand i was making too much unrealistic shots and winners. Nadal style is the style i like better i play with his forehand and now things are better in terms for the CPU. In 2016 my first tourney was in Sydney where i lost in the FINAL . 6/3 7/6 against Tomic in 2n round - tough match. 7/6 3/6 6/4 against simon , again he almost beat me. 6/4 5/7 6/1 vs djokovic in another 3 set thriller and 2/6 6/7 lose to federer. AO - 6/3 6/1 6/1 Berankis . 6/0 6/2 6/0 Gunneswaran. 6/4 4/6 7/6 6/4 SIsling (tough match). 6/3 4/6 7/6 4/6 9/7 AGAINST Granollers - he was serving for 6/4 in the 5-th set but choked. Now playing vs cilic in the QF.
. At first I was playing Club 5, then I switched to Pro 5 because it was ridiculously easy. The only match I lost in my career was when I accidentally gave up on a match 
. I know I should probably play Master 10, but I love being a dominator 
.
) and Sharapova (no.20) vs Kvitova (no.24); Surprisingly the two winners were Lisicki (6-3 6-2) and Kvitova (7-6(2) 6-4). The final was very intense, but in the end was PETRA KVITOVA who won the 1st slam of the year, beating the german 6-4 4-6 6-3.
) I will probably start with real players (I was thinking Raonic in ATP and Giorgi in WTA, but not too sure, we'll see). Any suggestions?
