Troicki dashed Nalbandian´s Hopes
David Nalbandian, the man from Córdoba, was eliminated in the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami when losing to the Serbian Viktor Troicki 6-1 and 6-3 in one hour and 14 minutes. Troicki was feeling inspired in his game and serves which made him had control of the match because of their strength. David’s defeat was surprising since he had beaten the same opponent in the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells. But yesterday there was nothing he could do when facing the power of the man from Europe. The Serbian won 84% of the points with his first serves, scored seven aces and saved the six chances that the man from Córdoba had to break his serve. On the other hand, David could do very little (two aces, 57% effectiveness with his serves) and could save two out of six chances of break.
