My aunt has a box at the Hall of Fame again this year and my parents are going to go watch the finals.

Well the last 16 looked like this

Lunitsyn lost to Kendrick 4-6 2-6

Capdeville vs Pless

Fish (7) VS Alves
Philoppussis beat De Voest 6-3 6-4

Melzer (6) beat Dancevic 6-4 3-6 6-4
Bogdanovic leads Bastl 2-1

Keep us informed SG. Greg loves this tournie, shame he could nto play. he won last year and made me a few quid too. He says he loves the surface and the conditions.

good luck Murray and Bogo.

Hi, Tim.

"Honour thy father and mother that thy days may be long upon the earth" or something like that... :giggle:

roflmao roflmao

They're living the wonderful retiree life - traveling and such... so I can be slightly "bitter". :D

So Murray (1) beat Querrey 7-5 6-2
Fish (7) beat Alves 6-2 6-3

That completes the 2nd round....


So Quarter Final results are

Murray (1) beat Kendrick 6-0 6-0 :clap: :yahoo:
Gimelstob (8) beat Pless 6-4 4-6 6-4

Fish vs Philoppousses 4-4
Melzer beat Bogdanovic 3-6 6-2 6-1

double bagel for murray - unbelieveable! :D :clap:

Boggo loses - hopefully the fool on the beeb might shut up now! roflmao

Philoppoussis beat Fish (7) 7-6 6-3

So despite 4 seeds losing in R1, 3 of the 4 that won ended up making the semis...

great result for murray - i predict a gimelstob melzer final! :) :hide:

So he battered fish then really!

I codn't believe it!

I reckon Philoppussis will easily beat Melzer, Murray should beat Gimelstob but ya never know....

WellI was right about the Scud, he's through 6-7 6-2 6-0 and will play the winner of the Murray (1) vs Gimelstob (8)...

gimelstob roflmao

So the final is Gimelstob (8) vs Philoppoussis

Murray should move up 1 place to 35, and will now only lose 50pts from the Binghampton challenger....

He has a 2nd round appearance to defend in Cincy and didnt play montreal last year so can gain points there to get seeded for the USO

After the USO he has to defend his final in Bangkok and a quarter final appearance in Basel..... but didnt play madrid or Paris last year and not so many top players play there so he should have a chance to get far..

Bad luck for Murray, i just had a feeling he woudl lose to someone like Gimelstob at the leventh hour! But I'm pleased for Scud, I thought he might be a dark horse here as he is in reasonabel form and can cope with playign shoprter matches. I really hope he wins this title.

Same here, Scud was always one of my favourites, esp. when he starts firing those missiles.

Philippoussis won his first title on 33months after beating Gimelstob 6-3 7-5

This was Gimelstobs first final of his career having played 153 events.....

Well done, I love the Scud. But I feel sorry for Gimelstob now, his big chance and all. It's a crule sport eh?
