/!\ Important - New Way to contact your Opponent in the Forum :
From now on, don't use the official Topic of the Tournaments to contact your opponent. To do so, go to the Tournament Draw page, and click on the Link / Button under "Report Result".
If it's a button, it means the topic for your match organization is still not created & it'll be created when you post your message. Else, it's just a link to the existing topic. An "unread" icon will be shown if a message from your opponent (or from a Mod) is waiting for you.

With this new way, it'll be easier for Tour Mods to track your exchanges and decide what to do in case a match hasn't been played.

Note: you still can post in the official topic your reserve match results, your match reports, and any other stuff you want all people to read.

[Dr.Ivo]

Dr.Ivo def. Maria Sharapova M.S. 6-1,6-0!

Nice start to AO for me, an easy win...i didnt expect to dominate that much, he didnt really put up a big fight...i played very well, my partner too although he played weird in the first set...he played at the net in the first part of the first set, but then he pulled back and he played from the baseline for the rest of the match and that didnt help him as i was able to hit many winners, my partner too He won his only game when he broke me at 2-0 in the first set as my partner hit 4 consecutive errors He could have definitely played much better, but he wasnt motivated or something, i didnt think i will win this easy...GG and GL!

[Dr.Ivo]

Reserve: Dr.Ivo def. Jhon-DIM 7-5,6-1!

We played earlier, but i'll comment it now...it was very good match, pretty tense first set, i saved myself from some very hard situations in the first set, he played very good...i played extremely relaxed so i didnt feel any pressure on the big points which helped me to win them It was a high class match with a small amount of net cords, we both had about the same number of them, but they didnt affect the match a lot, just in few moments maybe
His partner wasnt very good and that is what bothered him, he himself played great match...me and my partner were on the same level aproximately, solid game

1.set...he won the first game and then he had 2 BP's, but i saved them with nice shots and then used momentum to break him for a 2-1 lead and hold serve for a comfortable 3-1 lead...i guess i relaxed a bit then and he used it, he played very well in that part of the match, he broke me back at 3-2 and held his serve for 4-3, he won these 3 games pretty quickly, momentum was shifting rapidly
Then maybe the key moment of the set happened, he had 15-40 at 4-3, but i played very smart and calm to save it...i won that game and then he played a good one again to hold for 5-4...i played fantastic on my serve to even the score and then i managed to break him at 5-5 with some luck...it was a tense game, hard rallies, and then i got lucky at deuce, i won a point with a net cord, sorry for that I used the break point to go up 6-5 and i served out the set fortunately, but it wasnt easy

2.set...he seemed to be a bit down mentally after losing so tight first set, he started making more and more errors and his partner was like 70 percent worse than in the first set which handed me a double break and a 3-0 lead, i was dominating at that moment...he showed some sings of coming back when he played a brilliant game to break me to love to get one of the breaks back However, i didnt step back because of that, i got very close to the finishing line with breaking his serve once again for a 4-1 lead and that was it, he didnt put much of a fight till the end which enabled me to hold my serve for 5-1 and break him once again to win the match!

Entertaining match, i really enjoy playing him, conditions are pretty much perfect despite the distance Im happy with my level and with the level of the whole match, a lot of high quality shots was played, i really like these kind of matches, and when the conditions are good then it is easier not to hit a lot of net cords I am almost sure he will pass to this round as his opponent is nowhere to be seen Hope to play you many times again, GG and GL!

Reserve: Dr.Ivo def. Bassem 6-1,4-6,6-3!

Nice and tense match, i should have won it in 2 sets but he started playing better and my partner screwed up at the end of the 2nd set which wasnt good for me, i played bad also Overall there were a lot of high quality rallies, but a lot of net cords too, i had them more in the first part of the match, he had more in the 2nd, sorry for that once again He played solid, but it is obvious that he didnt play doubles for some time, he can play much better I stepped up in crucial moments and that was the difference


1.set...the beginning was very fortunate for me because i got of to a double break start as a result of luck mostly, i saved game points in all of the games and won them with lucky shots, sorry...then i played 2 great games to take a 5-0 lead...he played nice to break me, but i broke him again to take the set...he didnt have many chances in this set, but the result could have been less convincing

2.set...i started perfect by breaking him for a 2-0 lead, it seemed one-sided at that moment...but he responded with some goods to break me back and hold his serve for 2-2, he played nice at that moment...i took control again by holding and breaking him for a 4-2 lead, i should finish it then...i had a game point in next game, but when i missed it, everything went his way...he started playing great, and on the other side me and my partner played bad...he managed to even the score at 4-4 and then break me again to serve for the set which he did easily, things were not looking good for me at the moment

3.set...i won the first game, he won the second and then he broke me once again, i was still playing bad at that moment...but from then on, i concentrated and played great, i broke back, held for 3-2 and broke again to go up 4-2, i was dominating...but he didnt give up as he played fantastic to break me back for 4-3 Then the crucial game came, i broke his serve at 4-3, i really played smart, his partner missed few balls and that was it, i didnt afford anymore shocks as i served out the match comfortably!

Entertaining match, connection was perfect, i wish there wasnt so much net cords, sorry...it was pleasure to play you, very good rallies It seems like i'm in SF if everything goes as it is expected, so it is very nice result for me already GG and GL!
