Washington & Poland wrap

A disappointing week for tennis ended in similar fashion for myself, as any chance of profit was wiped out on Sunday.

Jose Acasuso lost his way in the Poland final against Tommy Robredo and went down in straight sets, but not before I had the chance to back Robredo at a good price and add some much needed funds to the bank balance. Acasuso went on to lose the second set by way of the dreaded bagel and he'll have to hope that he's done enough to stay in the top 100 after missing out in Montreal this week.

Over in Washington, some ridiculous serving combined with awful backhand ground strokes and possibly the easiest smash miss that I have ever witnessed, combined to deny beanpole John Isner the chance of a dream win in the Legg Mason Classic.

I was hoping that Isner would sneak the first on a breaker and I could then get on Roddick, but that didn't happen and A-Rod added another title to his roll of honour in straight sets.

So, in total I'm 5 points down on the week and hoping for a better week in Montreal.
