Yes!

Kohlschreiber took the first set 7-5, and broke Nalbandian in the first game of the second! :ok:

Not to celebrate too early though --- the Donut-Loving Argentine has often been known to fight back. However, Philipp just consolidated for a 2-0 lead. :yahoo:

Nalbandian holds to get on the board. 2-1 to Kohly ...

He's in a dangerous position now, I think. He knows that if he keeps holding his serve, he will have caused a huge upset. But he is still 4 service games away from that, so there is a big danger of nerves getting the better of him.

On the plus side, Donut Man should be a good target for him (a la the AO match against Nadal) ;)

Kohly holds, making it 3-1 :yahoo:

perfect break point conversion rate for both players in this match ... only Kohly had 3, Nalby only 1. :ok:

Double break! :ok: :yahoo: :bigwave:

4-1 to Kohlschreiber. Can Harry Houdini aka David Nalbandian pull off another escape from this, or is it the end of the road for him in Monte Carlo?

Nalbandian retires, and Kohly goes through :o

What happened? Did anyone watch?

Way to go, Kohly!! B)

I thought that he played a fine match against Rafa at the AO.. a dangerous and often underrated opponent, methinks..


Doesn't seem to be such a thing as a 'shock Nalby defeat' anymore, does there, eh?

He was still bloated from dinner........... roflmao


Naughty :devil:

Ouf! :lol:

Nalby wants success without putting in the hard yards..

In short, he wants to have his cake and eat it.. ;)

We are too good roflmao roflmao

roflmao Indeed!

Well, Nalby's reputation does go before him, doesn't it.. well, that, as well as an ever expanding girth!! roflmao

ah.. much mirth at nalby's girth.. :lol:

basically he's just fat! roflmao

(well for a tennis player)

Damn.. beat me to the intellectual high ground!! roflmao

I just have images of Nalby reading this and crying now :lol:

We do love Nalby on this board roflmao

Was it another stomach muscle pull aka FLAB STRAIN!
