Valencia Open: Janowicz advances, Tomic crashes again, Simon humiliated

Tumultuous stuff in Valencia!

Janowicz

Super Jerzy had to work hard against a tough Carreno Busta in Valencia to win after saving a set point in the second set tiebreak. The Pole once again used rather well his service to fire 14 aces. The match ended after 1 hour and 45 minutes. Match Stats.

In the next round Janowicz will play Joao Sousa for the first time.

Tomic

Another match and some more misery for Bernard Tomic. The Australian withdrew when he was 3-6 6-4 4-1 down against Mikhail Youzhny. This is the 4th consecutive defeated for Bernard, the 3rd in a first round. Ouch!

Simon

Talking about surprises, we have an uncharacteristic loss for Gilles Simon against qualifier and world no.111 Alejandro Falla. Gilles lost 6-1 6-0. Match Stats.

Next Matches
