I've never really been able to explain my Igor love. Is it that he looks like Billy Zabka? His adorable service set position? The fact that his favorite book is The Master and Margarita? Yes, yes, and yes.
So while Tommy has the feel good story on his side, I'm super bummed Igor bowed out so easily. He's got a huge serve, moves well, but in the end I guess his game is too much of a clay court game to really work on grass. He just doesn't hit flat enough.
So congratulations, Tommy. Two straight Slam quarterfinals. Not bad for an old fogey. You seem like a nice enough guy, but I just can't get onboard when I see pics like this:
Uh...unnecessary, dude.
