ATP Monte Carlo: Kubot kontra Troicki w I rundzie

Krzysztof Straszak 10 Kwietnia 2010, 15:33

Łukasz Kubot (ATP 42) po raz pierwszy w karierze zagra w Księstwie Monako. W turnieju ATP World Tour rangi Masters 1000 jego rywalem w I rundzie będzie Viktor Troicki (ATP 37). W kolejnej fazie, 1/16 finału, Tommy Robredo (ATP 22) lub Horacio Zeballos (ATP 54).

Dla Kubota to 30. w karierze (dziewiąty w sezonie) występ w premierowym cyklu. W Monte Carlo wyrównuje rekordową (z 2009 roku) dla siebie liczbę startów w najważniejszych turniejach w jednym sezonie. To jego drugi z rzędu, a piąty w ogóle turniej Masters 1000 (wygrał na razie jeden mecz, w Paryżu-Bercy w ubiegłym roku).

Od stycznia lubinianin odniósł 12 zwycięstw, co stanowi niemal jedną trzecią w ogólnym bilansie kariery (40-35 razem z Pucharem Davisa) i jest jego najlepszym rocznym wynikiem (w poprzednim sezonie 9 wygranych). Wszystko zasługa miejsca w Top 50 rankingu, co pozwoli mu także na bezpośrednią grę w Roland Garros, kolejnym turnieju Wielkiego Szlema.

W Monte Carlo mieszka Wojciech Fibak (w 1976 roku grał tam w finale singla i zwyciężył w deblu), który ma spotkać się z Kubotem w sprawie nawiązania współpracy. Pierwszy turniej na europejskiej czerwonej mączce (tytułu broni Nadal, numerem jeden jest Đoković, brakuje Federera) otwiera sezon na tej najpopularniejszej w tej części świata nawierzchi, czego uwieńczeniem będzie Roland Garros (23 maja - 6 czerwca).

bilans Kubota w głównym cyklu (ATP World Tour i Wielki Szlem): 24-29[table]{"headers":["
