Murray, Djokovic and Simon in QF at Dubai

The three top seed players at Barclays in Dubai made some great actions and sailed through the quarterfinals. First off is Novak Djokovic. This 21-year-old Serb smash his way to QF by ending a two-hour and seven-minute second round match against the Czech Jan Hernych, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. I read several reports online and found out that Nole was inconsistent during the entire game and in his interview, the 2008 Australian Open Champion admitted his mistakes and revealed that his defensive game was off the hook.



"A break of serve for 5-3 gave Djokovic the first set and a break for 4-2 gave Hernych the second. Hernych then broke to lead 2-1 in the third, but Djokovic pulled back to 2-2 and as the match reached an uncertain climax the Serb broke at 5-4 with a winning forehand."

Tonight, he was scheduled to face the Croat Marin Cilic. Good Luck Nole!!!!

Andy Murray of UK and the second seed at Dubai made no complicated mistakes in maiming Arnaud Clement (France) 6-2 6-3. Reports reveal that he striked a nice forehand for his winning and final point. But the dilemma is not yet end for this 2009 Rotterdam Champion as he will face Richard Gasquet in QF tonight right after Djokovic-Cilic. UK vs France, interesting fight eh?



The third seed at Dubai also made it to the QF. Gilles Simon took an easy route to defeat Russian's Teimuraz Gabashvili, 6-1 6-2. In his interview, he revealed that the Russian made several errors that's why, he had great chances of winning and sealed a victory after 53 minutes. He'll face Fabrice Santoro next.


Who will win tonight? Anything can happen. Tennis is an unpredictable game. Perhaps, it will be a 70-30 for Murray and 50-50 win for Djokovic and Simon.
