ATP St. Petersbourg

2 pick from this tournament... I still have PC problem and I won't be able to see any match.

M. Youzhny (-1.5 Sets) - V. Pospisil ( 1.5 Sets): Youzhny (-1.5) sets 3 units @1.55
I can't see anything but a 2-0 win for the russian.
Pospisil is just back from Canada where he played the Davis Cup, so maybe also a bit of jet-leg.

+1.65
7-6(4) 6-1 with more sufference than expected, since Pospisil broke back in the first, I haven't watched that though.
I was on a double in Metz: Herbert/Olivetti v Butorac/Peers.
The rapidity of the court makes it difficult to break the serve although the french pair would have done much worse. Olivetti looked much more a double player and his bomb-serve makes the most of the task, Herbert was the weak link, looking like a single player borrowed: broken in the first set and mini-broken in the tie-break, points that mead the difference.
The two though where not sincronized on the court, sometimes not calling the ball each other, or interfering - couple of times Herbert intercepted when he didn't, and didn't intercept when needed.
The US/Aussie double were much more a team greater skill at the net and never suffering when serving.
