Good profit from Tsonga - Wawrinka.
Tsonga was very erratic with his forehand during the first set while on the other hand Wawrinka was playing really well, looking much more solid on the baseline.
Price went down to 1.25 after Stan took the first set, but as it usually happens when Stan is on court, the match wasn't over.
Few games later the light went off, Stan's service got broken in the only break point conceded and Tsonga cruised to tie the match.
That was enough and apart from some minor trades after market's overreaction on some points I stayed with the all green built up to then.
I don't know what happened in the deciding set.
I think I'm done with Montecarlo.
This weekend there are the Fed Cup's semis.
Italy - Czech Rep. sounds a locked one. Italy has better singles and doubles, above all on this surface (clay). The Czechs usually put that little extra in Fed Cup rubbers but their shape looks awful and their best claycourter, Zakopalova, was even knocked out by allergy.
Much more interesting is Russia - Slovakia.
Also this tie is on clay court and I think this choice mixes things up rather than favoring Russia (home team).
Kirilenko little plays on it (she practices a lot in Spain), but it's not her favourite surface and things get even worse for Pavlyuchenkova.
I don't have a schedule for this weekend though, and a break should't be a bad move.
