Reserve R1: lopsa def stefan12 6-1, 6-0. Great serve and volleyer, he just has to practice more baseline play. Good game and good luck in the future!

Crazy and insane match, i have no idea how i won it, i saved 4 MP's We both played serve and volley, so there wasnt a lot of chances on serve, except in the first set and in TB's I was very lucky to win it, we were both at the same level and pure luck decided the winner...he played really good, some fantastic passing shots, volleys, serves, it was enjoyable...sorry for some net cords, but we both had them He even had a small chance to win it in 2 sets, but he choked a bit

1.set...He was dangerous on return with nice passing shots and it gave him a chance to break me at 2-2...he did it on a lucky way, with a net cord return ...then, we held until 5-4 where i won 15-0 point on an extremely lucky way and things went my way as i broke him back to level the set...we headed into a TB where i took control and had a 5-3 lead where he hit an awesome passing shot on the line to get the minibreak back...he used his 2 serves to reach a set point...i saved it, but at 6-6 he hit a perfect, fantastic return winner and used his 2nd set point on his serve

2.set..i dont remember if anyone had BP's here but i think noone did...we were holding our serves with small problems, but nothing serious, we both played very good on serve and we headed into another TB...i made a minibreak on the first point, but he responded brilliantly with 2 straight return points...he could easily hold serves there and beat me, but he choked a bit as he missed 2 straight volleys, he wasnt missing volleys like that in the match except in that situation But again, he got the minibreak back and we got to 4-4 where i made a deciding step by making another minibreak with nice passing shot...i didnt look back and i finished the set with 2 serve points

3.set...a set where we didnt have many chances on return, noone had a break point, just small chances...tension was in the air and every point won on the return was precious...we held comfortably till we got to 5-5 where he had 15-30 and he guessed my serve, but i was extremely lucky to get the volley back and win the point We held easily till the TB, crazy TB...he was definitely better at the start and he made a minibreak on a fantastic way, great passing shot he held it to reach a 5-2 lead where he had a chance to go up 6-2, but i was lucky to win a point...then we held till 6-4 and 2 MP's...the crucial thing was that he missed 1st serve and i used it to pass him nicely I saved 2nd MP on my serve and got to my first MP at 7-6...but from then on, we were too strong on serve and we held till 11-11, he had MP's at 8-7 and 10-9 and then, at 11-11, i hit a fantastic lob winner, i took a risky lob and it worked, it fell very close to the line I didnt squander another MP as i won a point at the net to win this crazy contest

Great match man, we always have close matches and i hope we will play many more times...you should play serve and volley more often, you are good This was a revenge for a doubles defeat GG and GL!

Tough, tough match. I think I was too unlucky in a lot of situations in this match, especially in the third set. Couldn't win too much points, my player was doing funny erros, the version is unnormal, can't be worse I think. In first 2 sets, there was lag, sometimes unplayable but after 1-1 in the third set it got better. I had 3 match points in the last game, 40 0, he got 3 points in a row, I lost my concentration but fortunately I won the following 2 points and won the match. He was playing really well and has decent potentional to be top 30 player, maybe something more if he improves his game, I think he does.

GL in future

P.S. Sorry for my LOLs

Well definetly not my best match ever off course this new uptade and some lagg didnt help but wtvr...if i was in a good day i know i could beat cuz i realized that those dropshot followed by net approaches were afecting you in first set but for some stupid reason i stoped using them
you were also very well in youre serve (almost everytime above 210 ) which killed my return
GL in the rest of the tour and season
PS- those LOL´s and YOU GOT LUCKY really are annoying

Igor Josifoski def. Jelenna Jankovic 3-6 6-3 7-6(5)

Tough match, I think he deserved to win but I was lucky I won, my second biggest won after beating Voja last year in Indian Wells.

First set, he broke me at 3-2* and took the set without any problems.

Second set, no sensations till *3-4 when he served 2 double faults and fell out of rythm, I broke him and took the second set with the same result as first, 6-3.

Third set, he had couple of break points at the end of the deciding set, at 4-3*, at 5-4 it was 0 30, at 6-5* it was also 0 15 or so.... the tiebreak, I was always in lead, I had 5-2 and had a great chance in the point to get 4 match points in a row, he came back to 5-5 and then I won 2 points in a row to win the tiebreak 7-5.

Sorry for my luck and GL in the future, see you in the final in Indian Wells

Manutoo, look in the mirror and tell me what you see... Congrats

Igor Josifoski def. Stajus 6-7 7-6 7-6

Manutoo, look in the mirror and tell me what you see... Congrats

Whatever, defeat is defeat. OK, the net cord in the first tie break, I would maybe finish it in 2 sets if it didn't happen.... it always happens with me against Dr.Ivo, always...

My first title

[Stajus]

Join the mirror crew, dude You aren't a good mover and never will be...you only won this title because defending is impossible and you, me, everyone here...knows that And btw I mentioned manutoo and wrote "congrats", so no one called you to comment anything

Also, about winning in 2 sets...I led 7-6 6-6 *5-3 in the 2nd TB and you fluked a deep return at that point...so don't type garbage, no one here believes this stuff...

[Igor Josifoski]

I'm so sure I would beat you on the previous version because I would return better, but wtv. enjoy your loss.

Definitely Once again, I said "congrats", so cya at IW

P.S. Want to play in some REAL money? We can get manutoo to return the version for a few hours...and lets put some real stuff into the match...I'm in since you think you will beat me...and I'm bored with playing for nothing...let's raise the stakes

[Igor Josifoski]

Oh my god !!!!!!!!! I'm not that addicted to the game to bet anything in, cya.
