Starace made the quarters last week before losing to Cervenak in a 3rd set tiebreak. He has a solid serve, nothing massive. Works the rallies well, can dominate the play off both sides. Benefitted from some rather kamikaze play from Cervenak last week, from set 2 onwards, the Slovak just seemed to be trying to hit clean winners off every single ball and threw away point after point on Starace's serve.
If he can make top 100 there's no reason why guys like Boggo, Bloomers, Goodall, Marray can't.
Can't believe Chiudinelli is winning vs Tursunov!!!!
Come on Jonny
Chiudinelli's a dangerous opponent, he's a massive hitter. Blew Boggo off the court in Mons before he started getting tight and missing lots of balls. He beat Korolev in rd1 here and then Sluiter in rd2, so is obviously playing extremely well. This year he's beaten Norman, Lopez [twice], Tipsarevic, Vicente, Sanguinetti, Rochus and took a set off Ljubicic.
