David Put Himself to the Test and Passed in Queen’s
David’s first step in Queen’s tournament, which is played in London on grass, had good results. In his debut in the second round he knocked out the Serbian Viktor Troicki 6-4 and 7-6 (4) in one hour and 39 minutes of game, making his run to the fourth round. Tomorrow, Thursday, Nalbandian will face the French Nicolas Mahut, with whom he is 1-0 in their history after a match played in Estoril 2006. But that was on clay. The French holds a good record: he knocked out Nadal in this same tournament in 2007, while the man from Cordoba is putting himself to the test after suffering some feelings of discomfort due to a sports hernia. It won’t be an easy match.
