Thailand Open

(Bangkok)

Singles Draw

Website

This tournament has got quite an interesting line-up, with the seeds being

1. Djokovic
2. Roddick
3. Berdych
4. Haas (I don't know whether or not he'll actually play though, seeing as though he was ill today for DC)
5. Moya
6. Tursunov
7. Karlovic
8. Verdasco

But my favorite player in this tournament is ... Kittipong Wachiramanowong (about whom I know basically nothing other than that he has a fantastic name ...) :P

And Djoko's out too.. (illness)

Looks like it will be another cakewalk for Kittipong Wachiramanowong

Go Kittipong! :clap:

He's facing Berdych first round though, so not sure how far Kitti, as I like to call him :P, will go ...

Results from today:

M Zverev (GER) def M Russell (USA) 6-4, 3-6, 6-1

[7] I Karlovic (CRO) def F Lopez (ESP) 7-6(2), 6-3

F Dancevic (CAN) def J Del Potro (ARG) 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4)

B Becker (GER) def [5] C Moya (ESP) 7-6(5), 6-4

\WC] D Udomchoke (THA) def [Q] H Levy (ISR) 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-3

[Q] D Meffert (GER) def A Delic (USA) 7-5, 6-1

M Llodra (FRA) def T Gabashvili (RUS) 7-6(2), 7-5

N Mahut (FRA) def [Q] Z Fleishman 7-5, 6-2


Good result for Ben Becker, whom I would like to see making another good tournament run. He should have a good chance to make the semis.

that's berdych's top half to take. maybe tursunov could make it through on the bottom, anybody really except roddick :rolleyes:

well done to dancevic. taking out del potro for the 3rd straight time this season :clap:

And the semifinals are

Berdych v Becker
Tursunov v Verdasco

Come on Ben, avenge Kittipong! :devil:

:P

Tommy Haas went out against Mahut in the second round. :(

And amazingly, he did!

Ben took out Berdych for his first-ever top ten win, 3-6 6-4 6-4. :clap: :clap:

He will now face Tursunov, who defeated Verdasco in 3 sets, in his first-ever ATP tour final.

C'mon Ben!

c'mon tursunov, prove me right ;)

Tursunov takes the title 6-2 6-1.

Doesn't look like Ben put on much of a fight. :o

But well done for reaching his first career final. :clap:
