Awesome. ATP needs more comments like "In Paris last year I killed him on clay..."

Left-handed Melzer went into his contest against Federer without a win
against the Swiss 16-time Grand Slam champion in three attempts, but he
insisted afterwards confidence was the key to his win.
"I never doubted that I could win," he said. "I played my game and tried to
attack his forehand when the points were important.
"He was defending more on his backhand side so there was more space on the
forehand."
Federer, who last won a tournament in Doha in early January and has never
won on the Monaco clay, said: "He did well and played aggressive. He didn't
give me many chances.
"I didn't think I played terrible. It's the first week of play (on clay) so
I didn't expect to play my best. It's been a solid tournament."
Melzer beat Ferrer on his way to reaching the semi-finals at the French Open
last year, a result he hopes will prey on the Spaniard's mind before their
meeting on Saturday.
"I will try my best. The last two matches I have won against him," he said.
"In Paris last year I killed him on clay and hopefully that result is still
in the back of his mind.
"After beating Roger Federer there is nothing I can't do."

He had a couple of difficult service games when he was up a break in the
2nd. I thought there was something in the back of his mind.
He did this deep breathing/slow exhale thing which is a tension reliever
during those games. But he came through and in the end served it out
without problems.

I agree with Feddy. He actually hit the ball great and moves like a
teenie. He just plays like a pussy.

Eine Kleine Teuton: David, will you be my Polandtine ?
I miss Kiefer: like Melzer, he marched (not walked) to the service
line.

Was that a reference to the fourth seal in book of revelations ? Da Vinci
Code ? Your neighbour's admiration for Fat Dave ? Rock Me Amadeus ?
Help!
GOYLE
I have no idea what the reference to the quote is about but the first
thing that comes to mind is David Duke.

Sorry.Next time I'm incoherent, please ignore.
I was saying that the players from the German space conform to the
militaristic stereotype:
they're stern, direct talkers, they move jerkily, ready to invade.
"A little German to David Ferrer: would you be my Poland ?"
Max should not be too offended: he's usually the purveyor of the Aryan
agenda around here.

I can picture that. Germans are typically rigid, conforming, a type of
"walk-in-goosestep" type of mentality.

Yes, beating Novak Djokovic. Nobody does that.
