Youznhy wins singles and doubles title in Zagreb 2012

Youznhy wins singles and doubles title in Zagreb 2012

Mikhail Youzhny beat Lukas Lacko 6-2, 6-3 to win the Zagreb Indoors 2012 title.

Youzhny faced no break points and lost only 12 points on serve during the 68-minute match.

After both players won opening service games, Youzhny won eight of nine games, winning the first set and three games in the second.

Lacko then kept his serve until the end of the match but could not challenge Youzhny.

“This was my best match of the tournament,” Youzhny said. “I gained some confidence here but I don’t want to think about whether I will be in the top 10 again or not.”

Berrer, Dodig, Melzer, Haase advance in Zagreb

Michael Berrer upset Ivan Ljubicic 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals of Zagreb Indoors.

Berrer had little trouble as shown by him breaking back immediately in the second set after dropping serve for the only time in the match.

“I played badly,” Ljubicic said. “It hurts much more losing at home, but the good thing with tennis is that you don’t have to wait long for another chance.”

Ivan Dodig defeated Marsel Ilhan 7-6 (5), 7-5, and later said he wasn’t concerned by the back injury which forced his retirement in the first round of the Australian Open.
