Heerlijke choke van Mathieu, 6-7 4*-5 achter, gelijke wedstrijd en hij maakt een DF, twee UE achter elkaar om maar meteen drie MP weg te geven. Inside out winner van Kohlschreiber slaat hem de finale in.

Sergio Roitman Announces Retirement

Argentine tennis player Sergio Roitman has announced his intention to retire from professional tennis at the conclusion of the Copa Petrobas, an ATP World Tour Challenger tournament in Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires native was joined by his life-long coach, Alejandro Lombardo as he made the announcement at the draw ceremony on Saturday.

“It is a strange moment for me, but the time has come for me to leave professional tennis,” said Roitman. “Physically, I cannot compete at the highest level anymore. I think this is the best place to retire, at a tournament that has given me a lot of pleasure and surrounded by people that have helped me and whom I love very much. I extend my warmest thanks to Ale (Lombardo), because he has always been by my side and with him I have achieved the best victories of my sporting career.”

The 30-year-old Roitman is currently No. 124 in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings. He reached a career-high No. 62 in singles on 8 October 2007, and achieved his highest doubles ranking (No. 45) on 8 September 2008.

During his 14-year career he amassed $1,287,217 in prize money and won two ATP World Tour doubles titles at Amsterdam in 2000 and the ATP Studena Croatia Open in 2001, both with Andres Schneiter.

Thai Hero Srichaphan To Return

Former ATP World Tour No. 9 Paradorn Srichaphan will make a return to competitive tennis next week as a wild card entrant into the doubles draw at the Thailand Open. The Bangkok native will team up with countryman Danai Udomchoke at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament.

The 30-year-old Srichaphan had been sidelined with a recurring right wrist injury since March 2007, when he retired against Luis Horna in the Sony Ericsson Open first round. He underwent surgery in Los Angeles in October later that year.

In the first round of his comeback, Srichaphan and Udomchoke will face German-Austrian duo Michael Kohlmann and Alexander Peya. Srichaphan and Udomchoke also paired together at the 2005 Thailand Open, when they reached the quarter-finals (l. to Hanley-Paes).

Before being struck down by injury, Srichaphan had enjoyed a glittering career and peaked at No. 9 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings on 12 May 2005. He contested 11 ATP World Tour finals and won five titles, beginning with the If Stockholm Open in 2002 (d. Rios). His most recent title came at the 2004 AEGON International (d. Thomas Johansson), when it was held in Nottingham.

The right-hander made his Grand Slam breakthrough at 2002 Wimbledon, when he defeated the then World No. 4 Andre Agassi in the second round. He was subsequently named the ATP’s Most Improved Player at the end of the season. His best results were fourth-round efforts at 2003 Wimbledon (l. to Roddick), the 2003 US Open (l. to Hewitt) and the 2004 Australian Open (l. to Agassi).

Srichaphan is a national hero in his native country and enjoyed strong performances at the Thailand Open, reaching the semi-finals from 2004-06. The 2002 “Thai of the Year” carried his country’s flag in the opening ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and was issued a red diplomatic passport when he was named Thai cultural ambassador.

Hoezo niet op spelers zoeken

Ik vind de nieuwe site als geheel wel een achteruitgang overigens.

quote:

Sam Querrey heeft zich moeten terugtrekken uit het toernooi van Bangkok met een ernstige armblessure. De 21-jarige tennisser struikelde na een training en viel door een glazen tafel.

Daaraan hield de nummer 25 van de wereld diepe snijwonden over in zijn rechteronderarm. Hij is meteen naar het ziekenhuis gebracht en met spoed geopereerd.

Volgens Tim Curry, woordvoerder van de Amerikaanse tennisbond, is de onfortuinlijke Querrey vier tot zes weken uitgeschakeld.
