Poor result for Slabba, lost 7-5, 6-1 to Ysern.......

disappointing after last week's performance against Kunitsyn

for some reason he really seems to struggle against this guy ?? I saw Ysern last summer in a futures and he didn't look too special

as in Delhi Alex had set point in the 1st set but missed it and was all downhill from there. Didn't serve well enough today, just 49% 1st serves and only 2 aces.....hopefully he can turn it around in sweden next week, could do with making a futures final to shore up some of those points from end of the year

Slabba's stats are here:

http://www.ti.fft.fr/EvMenu.asp?CodeEvent=0711283551&NumMatch=2019

His first serve had no impact, winning just 14/27. While on 2nd he won 14/28 and that includes 6 double faults, all in the second set. In the first set Slabba was winning a much higher percentage on second than on first.

Shame there aren't match stats available for more matches at Challenger and Futures level.
