Unlucky Mustafa. Nearly pulled it off. Seemed to have been in good form this week. Hope he can carry it through  to the doubles.

I don't know what magic enables Mustafa to keep picking up such great partners on the circuit (when he isn't partnering an Indian player, with whom he often does even better...). But good to see him keep it up, and continue to survive on the Challenger tour.

[jaydeep]

But that’s not translating in to good performance in these challengers ... He and Sam lost in straight sets against wild card pair.

Why isn't Nishikori playing the French Open?

[jaydeep]

Simple, he didn't want to ruin his shoes on red clay ...

[arjun2761]

I thought he lost in the qualies....

[suresh]

I don't think the rules permit you to play a tournament after playing qualies of another during the weekend. He probably hates playing on clay.
