Saturday’s Order of Play

Dmitry Tursunov has made a nice run in Eastbourne this week and has booked a spot in the final. The second-seed did so by getting passed eighth-seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez pretty easily 6-2 6-2 after just 70 minutes of play. The Russian has had a less than a stellar season so far and has not passed the round of 16, so this week’s run is a season booster.

He books a spot against Canadian-qualifier Frank Dancevic, who beat Fabrice Santoro 6-4 6-4. The 24 year old and current ATP World No. 126 is looking for his first career title, and tomorrow’s appearance will only be his second career final. It will be an uphill battle for the Canadian, as the Russian is a little more experienced with a couple more years on tour and five career titles. Tursunov also leads their head-to-head 2-0.

Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski took out Travis Parrott and Filip Polasek 6-4 6-4 in the AEGON International doubles final today in Eastbourne, Great Britain. This is their first title this year and their ninth career title together. The tournament win should be a nice boost for the duo going into Wimbledon.

Also, good job to Travis Parrott and Filip Polasek for making it to the final. It was their second final of the year, but the Amercican-Slovakian duo have come up short both times. Maybe, three times is the charm.

Dmitry Tursunov was able to fend off Fabio Fognini in his Eastbourne debut. He defeated the Italian 6-3 4-6 6-4 in a not quite two-hour match. Tursunov is not having the greatest season this year. His best showings this year are in the round of 16 in Marseille and Halle.

In the next round, he will meet British qualifier Alex Bogdanovic. Tursunov leads their head-to-head 1-0. Their only meeting was at the Queen’s Club in 2006. It would be nice to see the Russian put a string of matches together for a run in Eastbourne.

The Germans managed to win the singles and doubles titles in Halle, Germany. Tommy Haas upset second-seed Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-7(4) 6-1. This is Haas’s first title of the year and twelfth career title. Haas has overcome injuries over the last couple of years, and the win is his first title in two years. Hopefully, this win will give the German some impetus for Wimbledon.

On the doubles side, Germans Christopher Kas and Philipp Kohlschreiber won the doubles title to top off the German titles sweep to the delight of the hometown fans. They took care of the German-Swiss duo of Andreas Beck and Marco Chiudinelli 6-3 6-4. The title is their second championship together.

Andy Murray was able to win his first title on grass and become the first Brit to win the Queen's Club tournament in 71 years. He defeated James Blake 7-5 6-4. This is the Scotsman’s twelfth career title and fourth title of the year. More importantly, the win should give Murray some momentum going into Wimbledon.

On the doubles side, Wesley Moodie and Mikhail Youzhny upset sixth-seeds Marcelo Melo and Andre Sa 6-4 4-6 10-6. This is their first pairing and title.

Novak Djokovic booked the last spot against Tommy Haas in the Halle final. The Serb was able to get passed Belgian Olivier Rochus 7-6(7) 6-4 in just under two hours of play.

Djokovic now advances to his third career meeting with Haas and is 2-0 over the German in their head-to-head matchup. Their last meeting was in the second round of Indian Wells this year. Like Andy Murray, he is looking to win his first grass tournament.

Tommy Haas rallied to beat Phillip Kohlschreiber 2-6 7-6(5) 7-6(3) in a 132-minute, all-German matchup. It is a good win for Haas since he has been plagued with injuries over the last couple of years. The German has been healthy this month, and the results are starting to show.

Haas has now booked a spot in the Halle final. This is his first final in two years. His last final appearance was in Memphis in 2007, where he eventually beat Andy Roddick for the title. He now awaits the winner of the Djokovic-Rochus match.

Andy Murray secured his place in the Queen’s Club final by defeating former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero. The Scotsman passed the Spaniard 6-2 6-4 after 72 minutes of play. Murray will now play James Blake, who was a recipient of an Andy Roddick retirement at 4-4. Roddick retired due to an ankle injury.

Blake leads Murray in their head-to-head 1-0. Their only meeting was in Hamburg in 2006. Murray will be looking to even this record and also win his first grass title.
