Delray Beach, USA, 01 March 2012 | AP
Australian qualifier Marinko Matosevic is savouring one of his biggest wins
after upsetting Russian sixth seed Alex Bogomolov Jr to reach his maiden ATP
quarterfinal.
More-fancied countryman Bernard Tomic followed him into the last eight, but
Matosevic stole the spotlight with his 4-6 6-1 6-3 victory on Wednesday over
Bogomolov Jr at the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships.
Bogomolov’s peers voted him the most improved player of 2011 after he rose
from 166th in the world to No.34, while 26-year-old Matosevic has spent most
of his career on the Challenger circuit.
But Matosevic proved too strong in their second-round clash, firing 11 aces
and winning five of eight break points to book a quarterfinal with Latvia’s
2010 champion Ernests Gulbis.
現年26歲的Matosevic,在德雷海灘賽首次進入ATP八強賽,對上六號種子選手,
來自俄羅斯的老將Bogomolov,比賽過程中,轟出11記ACE球,破了對手五個發球
局,下場將對上來自拉脫維亞的Gulbis,同時也是德雷海灘賽10年的冠軍。
(說到這個 很久沒關注小古了 = =a)
Bogomolov去年也因從166位,升到世界排名第34位,而被同輩的選手票選為
最佳進步球員。
“It was a tough match and I’m happy to get through and make my first
quarterfinal,” said Matosevic.
“I knew his game pretty well and he reaches a lot of balls, so I just had to
keep staying aggressive.
“I played the big points well.”
Matosevic表示,這是場艱難的比賽,我很開心能進入到生涯第一個八強賽,
我知道他打得很好,救球功力深厚,所以我必須集中火力進攻,在關鍵分我
打得很出色。
The big-serving Gulbis beat Belgian Steve Darcis 6-7(6) 6-1 6-3 in his
second-round match.
Eighth-seeded Tomic outclassed American qualifier Tim Smyczek 6-1 7-5 to set
up a last-eight clash with top seed John Isner, who ousted fellow American
Ryan Sweeting 6-3 6-4.

雖說是很值得紀念
但坦白說有點心酸
男子網壇的強度實在很可怕...
