Aww. Look at these two. I would make the same faces if I took out the Bryan Brothers 6-4, 4-6, 10-8 in the finals of the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas. Michael Llodra teamed up with fellow Frenchman Julien Benneteau because Llodra’s regular partner, Arnaud Clement, has been nursing a left ankle injury (among other things).
The rest: See the rest of the week’s trophies — including the ones from Dubai and Bangalore — after the cut…
In singles, Sam Querrey reasserted his place among the up-and-comers of American tennis with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over South African qualifier Kevin Anderson. This is the first ATP singles title for the Thousand Oaks (Calif.) native. We’ll see what he does with this momentum going into Indian Wells later this week.
Pulling a Roger: Andy Roddick temporarily hushed the naysayers who wondered about his ability to operate without a coach. He did so by beating the Joma Sport-sponsored Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (8), 6-4, 6-2. Roddick is the first American winner of the tournament.
In doubles, Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles take the titlel; Martin Damm and Pavel Vizner are runners-up.

Shuai Peng (left) and Tiantia Sun beat Taiwanese players Yung-Jan Chan and Chai-Jung Chuang 6-4, 5-7, 10-8.

I was comparing the Bangalore women’s trophees to dubai men’s ones. 😉
About Dubai, I’ve got the same question than Denise.
Bab says
Oh well, forget what I wrote, I got it wrong. LOL
Sorry, sorry, sorry…
Erwin says
Bab — they’re not *that* bad. I’d rather take home a gold falcon (or a water buffalo) than take home yet another crystal vase (or tennis ball/racquet/etc).
Bab says
The women’s trophees in Dubaï are really uninteresting compared to the men’s trophees. 🙁
Natalia says
