MUMBAI, Sept 29: It was a massive shock for the No.2
seed Mario Ancic. The Croat was humbled by the brilliant Austrian Stefan
Koubek in a thrilling quarterfinal of the Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open at
the CCI. Koubek prevailed 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a match which lasted two hours
and 11 minutes.
Koubek will now play Czech Tomas Berdych in the semifinals.
Berdych outclassed Bjorn Phau 6-3, 7-5. Top seed Tommy Robredo defeated
Ramon Delgado in straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (1).
The Ancic-Koubek duel was definitely the match of the tournament. There were plenty of thrills and the crowd loved every bit of the action. They were rooting for Koubek, but by the third set, they switched to Ancic hoping for the Croat to mount a miraculous recovery. Ancic was not so dominant on his serve managing
only five aces. He did hit plenty of forehand winners but his net play at
crucial times let him down. When he was in trouble he attacked, but his volleying deserted him. Koubek who is ranked 118 in the world is fleet-footed and ran down almost every shot Ancic threw at him. The left-hander troubled Ancic no end with his kicking serves. Koubek also cleverly employed the lob that had the 6-ft-5 inch Ancic foxed.

Ancic got off to a fast start and wrapped up the first set with a break in the fourth. The Austrian hit back in the second hitting wonderful passing shots from the baseline. He sealed the set with breaks in the sixth and 10th games.
As Ancic grew wearier, Koubek got stronger. He continued to hit amazing winners past a bemused Ancic. He broke Ancic and had two match points in the seventh which Ancic saved. The Austrian duly served out the match hitting a lovely forehand volley for match point and winning it when Ancic's backhand slice sailed long.

Ancic bites the dust

Stefan Koubek scores the upset of the tournament even as the other seeds progress to the last four

MUMBAI: Three of the top four seeds at the $380,000 Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open met the expectations of the organisers by making it to the last four stage on Friday even as the fourth bit the dust. Stefan Koubek came up with the upset of
the tournament so far by putting it across Mario Ancic, the second seed. The 29-year-old Austrian scored a come-from-behind 3-6 6-4 6-3 win over the Croat to book his second semifinal berth of the year. Koubek, a former top-20 player now ranked 118 on the list, had made it to the final at Zagreb earlier this year, losing to another Croat, Ivan Ljubicic. Here, however, he was the first player in the whole week to trouble Ancic while the Croat failed to put his act together.
On Saturday, the Austrian will be up against against the third-seeded Czech, Tomas Berdych. Meanwhile, top seed Tommy Robredo of Spain, who beat Ramon Delgado of Paraguay 6-2 7-6 (1), will play Dmitry Tursunov, the fourth seed from Russia, in the other semifinal.

Berdych survived a few anxious moments before outlasting German Bjorn Phau 6-3
7-5 in the opening quarterfinal clash.

Meanwhile, the second semifinal offers a more exciting prospect. Tursunov has this week cultivated the habit of making things difficult for his own self and in the process has ended up making seemingly easy matches interesting. His clash against Briton James Auckland was no different. The Russian dropped the opening set before coming back to score a 3-6 6-3 6-4 win, hitting a terrific crosscourt forehand at match point to leave his opponent —- and the few who were present to support him — in a state of disbelief. But the 23-year-old Russian needn’t worry. For, his opponent, Spaniard Tommy Robredo, may be the highest seeded player in the
tournament, but is by no means a safe bet. In his match against Delgado, he did
something similar to what he had done against Berrer a day earlier.

Fortunately for Robredo his opponent wasn’t able to take advantage of his frailties. With a kind of game he has, it wouldn’t be wise to place money on theSpaniard winning unless he has actually won — or unless you are his hardcore fan.
The head-to-head also suggests the same. The Spaniard may have a 2-1edge over the Russian but is by no means a favourite going into the match. The
duo has split their two matches this year. And going by Tursunov’s philosophy —
“playing three sets is always better” — it is palpable what to expect from this match.
