H2H 0-1 - Becker is the player who beat Oli 3 & 2 in the Madrid final in early June.


Was that the week when there were a few "verbals" flying around ?

 I think you may be right, Bob!

Don't you think that German players named Becker should be banned ?

Bit like Brits with a first name of Josh or Dan ?

Good luck to Oli - as Bob in Spain (i think) said following his tweets: he certainly seems to like Switzerland !

Was the final against Becker where Oli was sick and could barely move?

Oli into a tie break after a serve dominated first set.

Oli saved 3 BPs during the set but wasn't able to create any of his own.

Becker went 5-0 up before Oli managed to hold serve to avoid a bagel, but the German then held to love to take the set

7-6(4) 1-6

After such a good result yesterday this is a really disappointing result.

Based purely on the scores (but they show a certain amount), Oli played a really hard fought third set - so many very tight games. Well done to him all the same - you can't win them all, you can only put yourself in a position where you've got the best chance . . .
