duel entre 2 joueurs que je viens de virer parceque l'un est décevant et je n'aime pas l'autre...
Je pense que Ferrero va gagner parcequ'iln'est pas mal sur terre, et que Stepanek n'a bizarement pas eu de tres grands résultats sur cette surface...

Je voyais pas the beast beat Blake ni Verdasco éliminer Nalbandian...
Si on ajoute Berdych qui mène face à Haas...
" Si la chance est avec toi, pourquoi jouer ? Et si la chance n'est pas avec toi, pourquoi jouer ?"
Crowd favourite James Blake was dumped out of Wimbledon in a seesaw match on Centre Court. Max Mirnyi of Belarus beat him 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-0 to reach the fourth round for the third time in his career. He will face 2003 quarter-finalist Jonas Bjorkman, his doubles partner here and the player with whom he has won the Roland Garros doubles title for the past two years.
The first set was a nightmare for Blake, who had never progressed beyond the second round at Wimbledon before today. He had four break points and converted none of them, whereas Mirnyi played well when it mattered and seized the single opportunity afforded him. The man from Minsk was winning lorry-loads of points at the net – as befits one of the best doubles players on the planet – especially on his opponent's second serve. Blake's frustration was both visible and vocal.
Big-hitting Mirnyi is clearly confident on grass, having seen off Mark Philippoussis in the previous round. He is a player for the big occasion, having won four Slam doubles titles and two mixed. Moreover, when he led the Belarus team to victory over Russia in 2004, he was awarded his country's highest civilian honour, the Orden Otechestva. If that was not enough, he is nicknamed ‘The Beast’ for his fearless play. Would this match go the way of their only previous encounter, when the Belarussian won on the Madrid hardcourts three years ago?
It seemed entirely possible at the start of the second set, when 26-year-old Blake played the wrong stroke to gift Mirnyi break point, which he gladly accepted. Moments later Blake handed Mirnyi a point for 3-0 with two breaks, by leaving a forehand which dropped in. But this chance went begging, and seemed to be a key moment. Blake was beginning to get his eye in, although it was only at the eighth time of asking that he succeeded in battering down Mirnyi's defences. A beautiful forehand pass sent Mirnyi the wrong way, and Blake was on the right road at last, to his patent relief. He moved to 5-3 with a super return, and then levelled the match.
Blake was a man transformed. He was feeling so good about himself that at the start of the third set he successfully lobbed 6ft 5in Mirnyi, and to the crowd’s delight broke twice for 4-1. Of course, if charisma and popularity could win tournaments, then Blake would have held a major trophy aloft long ago. As it is, he currently holds a career high ranking of seven, up from 210 in April 2005. This year he has won titles at Sydney and Las Vegas, and made the final at Indian Wells and Queen's last week – all this following on from the high point of his career to date, that five set quarter-final defeat to Andre Agassi at the US Open last autumn.
Mirnyi, however, was not keen to give way. He won eight successive points, taking one of the breaks back, before Blake stopped the rot and closed out the set. Everything appeared to be proceeding by the book. But then out of the blue Mirnyi broke for 2-0, and the momentum was back with him. He broke again for 5-1 and the match went into an unexpected deciding set.
Mirnyi had the bit in his teeth and at once broke Blake yet again, opening the set with eight straight points. Blake was left holding his head in despair when he blasted a simple forehand out of court to hand Mirnyi another opportunity to break, and his misery was compounded when Mirnyi converted it – after scrambling back up from a fall to hit a clean winner. The match was disappearing over the horizon, and Blake could do nothing to bring it back.
