R2 Heinrich von Westphalen def. Zugzwang 6/1 6/0



Actually I had the impression that Zugzwang played very well and proved a good style of tennis. Furthermore he varied a lot and tried to break the defense with increasing the risk. Unfortunaly he couldn't perform the necessary consistency and precision, which ended in a deadly winner / unforced error ratio (4 winners / 26 errors).

Anyway, he's a good and fair player and definitly deserves his place on this World Tour. All the best and good luck!

Kind regards,
Heinrich von Westphalen.

Reserve (R3) - Nadalesque def. ShoNe - 6/4, 6/1 ... Good match... with lag, but, after 1st set, he wanted to restart router if I can't play, but I was nervous. I lost some key points because of lag in 1st set, and I said him that I can play. He agreed with that and we continued. I wasn't in 2nd set at all. -.-

But he is better player and deserve to win. GL in next rounds.

QF Heinrich von Westphalen def. Ayoub Rima 6/3 6/3



I know Ayoub Rima very well and I knew I should be focused on defense to win this match. But yesterday he was in absolutly great form and had a rocket forehand (17 forehand to 5 backhand winners). I tried to force him into long rallies to increase the inaccuracy of his shots (26 to 7 points at rallies over 9 shots) ... at the end I was a little bit lucky and happy to won this match in straight sets.

All the best Ayoub, well played!

Kind regards,
Heinrich von Westphalen.

SF Heinrich von Westphalen def. GoAga 6/7 6/1 6/2



Very impressive pugnacity by GoAga and although he had twice as much winners as me I had I could keep calm and hold at least my services in the beginning. In 2nd and 3rd set I changed my strategy and applied some counterpressure which produced a lot of faults by him so he had thrice as much errors (78) as I had (24) ... nevertheless an awesome performance and all the best for Rome / Roland Garros!

Kind regards,
Heinrich von Westphalen.

I wonder if we'll see the scoreboard of the final

For me, being classy after losing is more important than winning. Win or Lose, it is just a game; while post-game attitude reflects the behaviors of a person in real life
