Real pity, Oli played some excellent stuff that 2nd set and would've won against most people

Only caught the tie break, but some excellent tennis from Oli, but the top seed ain't a top seed for nothing. Volandri stepped up his game towards the end of the tie break, cut out the errors and forced Oli to go for winners. Fair effort, but I think Oli needs to control that anger/disappointment.

Good. Playing against a good player is the best indicator, and the second set sounds like a positive sign ... barring the end.

Just to note that Nº1 seed and Oli's conqueror in the 1st round, Mr Volandri, went on to win the title.

All the more reason to take heart from Oli's performance, particularly in the 2nd set when he ran him so close.
