ATP Tennis - Weekly Tournaments

The favourites all pulled through on Monday, even though both Murray and Berdych had quite a few problems with Dimitrov and Falla respectively. Berdych survived two match points while Murray fought back from two breaks down in the first set, but Dimitrov gave him a good helping hand by serving three double faults at 5-2 in the opening set!

Dimitrov managed to do almost the same thing he did last week against Djokovic. :)

Exactly :D He is still very young though, it's quite normal to have a few mental problems at his age. He has huge potential though, very talented lad.

Major upset in Miami: Haas defeated world number one Djokovic in straight sets! Murray, Ferrer and Berdych didn't have such problems, they qualified with ease, while Tsonga was defeated by Cilic and Tipsarevic lost to Simon.

Good luck!

I have always considered Haas to be one of the most talented players but with just too many injuries over the years. He played a great match.

I like to think that Djokovic's thoughts are on clay season.

You are right, Haas deserved more than he got during his career. The fact that he defeated Djokovic at the age of 35 speaks volumes about his talent.

Ferrer had a little more trouble than he expected against Melzer but pulled through while Haas continued his awesome run with a comprehensive straight sets win over Gilles Simon.

Marin Cilic v Andy Murray

Marin Cilic 5.00

Andy Murray 1.17

Richard Gasquet v Tomas Berdych

Richard Gasquet 2.70

Tomas Berdych 1.45

Good luck!

Haas in the final would be awesome though i can't see anyone stopping Murray from taking the title.

Haas is on fire, he could well pull off another major upset here. But I agree Murray looks very strong, even though he did have some problems against Dimitrov. He should beat Cilic though and gain even more confidence before the semi finals.

Easy win for Murray in the quarter finals, as expected, but Gasquet pulled off a surprise win against Berdych, in straight sets!

Tommy Haas v David Ferrer

David Ferrer 1.53

Richard Gasquet v Andy Murray

Richard Gasquet 3.65

Andy Murray 1.27

Good luck!

No surprises in the semi finals, Murray and Ferrer won and will meet in the final, as expected. They didn't have easy matches in the semis though, both Gasquet and Haas pushed them to three sets.

Here are the odds for the final at Intertops:

David Ferrer v Andy Murray

David Ferrer 3.50

Andy Murray 1.29

Good luck!

So, Master Series title for Murray at last. ;) He needed almost two years, since Cincinnati, I think.

Well, he didn't win it just yet :) I agree he's the big favourite but Ferrer can be dangerous. Both are excellent defenders so it should be a very entertaining match.

Murray won it, but it was a hard-fought one.

I don't know why Djokovic is playing.... it might be good to bet on Youzhny.

Djokovic usually plays the big clay court tournaments, reached the final in Monte Carlo in 2012 and was defeated by Nadal. You were right though, Youznhy did have a good chance to win it but Nole prevailed eventually even though he was looking a bit sluggish and slow on his feet.

No big surprises today, Murray looked very confident and fit, Nadal was in top shape while Djokovic had a few problems against Youzhny.

Yes, but I was thinking about the injury during the Davis Cup match against Querrey. I just hope that he recovered completely.

I think he'll be just fine. Not 100% yet it seems but he'll get there.

A crazy day in Monte Carlo, quite a few upsets! First Wawrinka thrashed Murray, then Fognini defeated Berdych in straight sets and last but not least Nieminen battled his way past Del Potro!

Thrid set between Nadal and Dimitrov. Dimitrov is putting up a fight.

As expected, great matches in the quarter finals. Dimitrov almost pulled off the biggest upset against Nadal while Tsonga and Wawrinka played a real final. Fognini continues to pull off the surprises.

Easier than expected for Djokovic, Fognini was quite weak today. Nadal had a much more intense match against Tsonga, it nearly went into a third set.

Good luck!

Djokovic pulled off a massive win in the final, 6-2 7-6, a huge result against Nadal on clay. Moreover, considering Nole was coming from an injury, this looks like an even bigger result.
