The grass court season gets under way the day after the French Open finals. 4 of our main touring pros played at the Aegon Championships at the Queens Club in London (ATP 250 event).
J. Tipsarevic (TFight 325/Blackcode) lost first round against a dangerous and talented grass court qualifier N. Mahut in front of a late afternoon Centre Court crowd.
D. Istomin (Tfight 325/Xone+Redcode) squeezed throught his first round before falling to F. Lopez in 3 sets.
K. Vliegen (Tfight 325/Xone) fought through his first round match before losing a tough second round match on Centre court against A. Roddick.
M. Baghdatis (TFlash 315/Xone) cruised throught his first round encounter against a British wildcard in front of a packed Centre court crowd before stumbling to 13th seed M. Youzhny in the second round in damp conditions.
The grass court season carries on with players either moving onto the tournaments at Eastbourne or Rosmalen or getting a good week of preparation at Wimbledon from this weekend.
