Pospisil loses to Seppi at St. Petersburg 2011
Vasek Pospisil (CAN) lost a close match with Andreas Seppi (ITA) today in the first round of main draw play at the St. Petersburg Open, 5-7, 6-7(4).
The first set saw a break for each player in the early parts of the set, but at 5-4 when Pospisil was up while the players were on serve, Seppi won 3 games in a row to win the set 7-5.
The second set was close again. Pospisil started with a vengance, winning the first 3 games to be up a break at 3-0. Seppi answered by winning the next 3 games and the match was tied again. For the rest of the set, the players held serve until 6-6 to force a tiebreak. Pospisil struck first with a mini-break to make it 2-1 after Seppi's two service attempts, but was broken right back on his first subsequent service attempt. Seppi was able to break Pospisil once more to make it 5-3 and consolidate it on his serve to win the tiebreak 7-4.
The match was close, with breaks by both players in both sets and each set being decided by a single break of serve or a single mini-break of serve. A fine performance from Vasek in Russia... keep it up!

Milos playing Marin Cilic on the first round in Valencia ! Marin Cilic is ATP 22, but has been ATP 9 and he is in St Petersburg final. It is going to be tough, but Milos can do it ! As for Vasek, he is in the qualifying list (playing against a French player, sorry for it). At least, the two will meet. May be it’s good for Vasek to be with Milos in a tournament. Vasek’s coach seems a little special from what I read on twitter. Milos’ coach seems much more serious and Milos is on the good track ! Go Milos !!!
