Attila The Hun Defeats Henman In Dubai Tennis Championships Battle http://www.dubaitennischampionships.com/news_attila.htm Tim Henman was edged out of the Dubai Tennis Championships on Tuesday, losing 5-7 7-6 6-4 to Hungary's Attila Savolt in a two hour 47-minute marathon centre court battle. The fourth seed Brit, playing only his second event since October after undergoing surgery to his right shoulder, matched his opponent all the way and held off three match points before finally conceding. "There were so many different emotions," said Henman. "It was great to be out there competing with very little thought to my shoulder. And now having lost a match like that I feel very, very frustrated and disappointed. "I know I am going to have to be patient, but it doesn't hide my frustration at this moment in time. I was out there in a dogfight and I wanted to come through it. Unfortunately I came up short. It's about getting matches under my belt, and after playing for over two and a half hours it's a big positive for me that my shoulder feels as good as it does." Second seed Marat Safin enjoyed an easy victory over Alex Waske, winning 6-4 6-2, and he will now face Tommy Robredo, who overcame Jonas Bjorkman 6-2 6-3. Sixth seed Sjeng Shalken also won in straight sets, beating Mikhail Youzhny 7-5 6-0, but Yevgeny Kafelnikov received a warning for firing a ball at the umpires chair on his way to a 6-2 4-6 6-3 win over John Van Lottum. In other matches, Australian Open finalist Rainer Schuettler struggled past Zeljko Krajan 6-4 2-6 6-3, and Ivan Ljubicic beat qualifier Wayne Black 7-5 6-3. The Dubai Tennis Championships, which is owned and organized by Dubai Duty Free and held under the patronage of HH General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Minister of Defence, UAE, takes place at the Dubai Tennis Stadium from 24th February to 2nd March. -- 昨天的報導。我連不上ATP官網...=___=||| -- 如果人生能重來，你會再選擇一次嗎？會的。然後，重蹈覆轍，重蹈覆轍。這就是人生。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.225.194.70
