Kecmanovic is TOAST!
Good seesawing affair. Kec had a MP in the deciding TB (on Monteiro's
serve) but Monteiro clawed it home.
Monteiro is a classic clay courter. Very scrappy. But occasionally a bit
too classic. When the point is halfways or more in the bag, you should
consider getting up to the net or something to kill it instead of
bouncing the ball around further. Monteiro lost one or two points he
already had won that way. That's frustrating. Relies perhaps a bit too
much on that fabulous lefty FH. But it's fearsome.
Rome. What a Mediterranean tournament.
