ATP Wiedeń: Kubot kontra Blake w I rundzie

Krzysztof Straszak 23 Października 2010, 15:25

James Blake, ex czwarta rakieta świata, będzie rywalem Łukasza Kubota w I rundzie turnieju w Wiedniu (ATP World Tour 250, pula nagród 575,25 tys. euro). Na kolejnym szczeblu drabinki na zwycięzcę tego meczu czeka Jürgen Melzer.

Mogli spotkać się w II rundzie w Sztokholmie, ale Kubot (ATP 64) nie wypełnił swojej części zadania przegrywając z kwalifikantem Matthiasem Bachingerem. W austriackiej stolicy Blake (ATP 135) trafia na najwyżej notowanego polskiego singlistę w I rundzie i faworyta trudno wskazać.

30-letni Amerykanin wygrał dziesięć turniejów, przez półtora roku (2006-7) utrzymywał się nieprzerwanie w Top 10 rankingu, ale od czerwca tego roku nie ma dla niego miejsca nawet w czołowej setce listy ATP. W Sztokholmie (ćwierćfinał) zagrał po raz pierwszy od US Open (porażka z Đokoviciem w III rundzie).

Najwyżej rozstawiony Melzer (ATP 12) broni wywalczonego przed rokiem tytułu (w 1976 triumfował Wojciech Fibak). Z innym Austriakiem, Oliverem Marachem, Kubot wywalczył wtedy tytuł deblowy. W 2007 roku w Wiedniu triumfowali Marcin Matkowski i Mariusz Fyrstenberg i oni także będą obecni na starcie tej edycji. Wszyscy trzej polscy debliści walczą o Masters.

bilans Kubota w głównym cyklu (ATP World Tour i Wielki Szlem): 26-44[table]{"headers":["
