Good stuff

Next up Schmid (CZE) WR 481 or unranked Tattermusch (GER), who had a career high of 609 ten years ago.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

spoke to Alex briefly, he was feeling pretty stiff, said it was very quick and cause he's been out for slo long his body isn't used to it, esp around his hips.

hopefully he'll be able to get some massage/physio and feel ok for tomorrow.

RJA · Hall of fame

It will be Schmid in the next round. He won 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.

Cervenak also came through in 3 sets.

steven · Tennis legend

Meanwhile, Dustin Brown (remember all the talk about him possibly playing for GB around Queen's time) is playing for his new country for the first time here in Eckental. That'll be Germany ...

ATP draw sheet has Mertal beating Cervanak 62 in 3rd. Mertal also on tomorrows OOP.

The tournament website shows Cervenak having won 6-2 in the third but I suspect that the ATP have it right.

Indeed I do. Mercenary or what? disbelief

Interestingly, the players' list still shows him as a Jamaican, while the DS says he's German. He's certainly forfeited any goodwill on my part! furious

I also seem to remember him talkking during the US Open about being a proud Jamaican. I can't stand hypocrites.

Spectator · All-time great

Let's be fair . . . he was born in Germany; his mother is German; he moved back to Germany in 2004; and he practises in Hannover. It's hardly a stretch for him to play for Germany!

For that matter, if he'd wanted to be mercenary, to be honest, GB would probably have been the better choice. A player with his rankings would be much more likely to garner major support from a country desperate to meet targets than from one that already has nine players in the top 100 singles and five (with some overlap) in the top 100 doubles.
