Some results:

Hitori-Moriya -d- R.Haase  26, 76, 63.    I'm glad I didn't bet my house on this one!

Verdasco -d-  Ito  60,6-2.

Tricki  -d-  Stakhovsky  67,75,63.

Nieminen  -d-  Sugita  6-1, retired.

Sela -d- Chiudinelli   64,64.


Donald Young is playing his match at present.   It's 5-5 in the first set.  I don't know Yen-Hsun Lu at all, but he is obviously keeping DY busy!  I can't find a stream for this match.   

DY won his match, 5-7,6-2,7-5.

Dimitrov -d-  Yang  63,36,76.

      I see the Grim Reaper is here to confirm that this thread is dead!   But we can't have that now can we?   

I watched some of the matches & especially enjoyed  Gasquet against Tomic & Neiminen.  I hope he can beat Simon to lift this trophy. 
Anyway, here is the schedule for the final day.

Yessss!  My man RG takes the title.  Well done to him. 

And I see that there is a Thai winner in the doubles final! Well done to Udomchoke /  Yen-Hsun Lu  for lifting the doubles trophy.

The grim reaper can now come & take this thread into oblivion ........ where it has been all the time in any event!
