Robbie Koenig: The New Mr. October
Well, it has all been happening here in Paris! Andy Murray was finally defeated by an impressive David Nalbandian, but I had a chat with Murray’s coach, Miles Maclagen, after the match and he tells me Andy’s fatigued. But credit to Nalbandian – he was outstanding today. Maybe his new nickname should be “Mr. October” since he’s played so well in this month the last two seasons! (Remember last year he beat seven of the eight players in the Masters Cup in this very month!)
And what a disaster for the tournament to loose both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on the same day!!! But as they they say, what goes around comes around. The tournament has done away with one of its practice courts this year so that it could have more space for it’s VIP village to entertain. Practicing on site has been a nightmare, almost impossible, and a lot of players have been pissed off that the tournament director seems to be paying more attention to the VIP village than the players needs!
It’s a pity the two guys got injured, but I’ve got no sympathy for the tournament. They’ve only got self interest.
J-W Tsonga will hopefully keep the flag flying as far as they are concerned, but I wouldn’t count on it because Andy Roddick has been impressive this week. He’s been aggressive from the back of the court, and his serve has been RODDICKULOUS!!!
Let see what the next 48hrs brings?
