Grass Season

Igor's grass court season began in Queen's Club where he failed to emulate last year's quarter final run, losing out in the 2nd round to Chris Guccione 6-4 6-4 after beating Brit Alan Mackin 7-5 4-6 6-3 in the 1st round.

The following week, he headed to Nottingham where he fell at the first hurdle to Queen's finalist Ivo Karlovic 6-4 6-4.

Wimbledon has faired somewhat better however. After coming through a tough test against 30th seed Robin Soderling 6-7 7-5 6-1 7-5 & defeating Davide Sanguinetti 6-4 6-2 3-6 6-3, Igor's run was ended by 2nd seed Andy Roddick 6-2 6-2 7-6 in a match which saw Igor pick up an abdominal injury. Let's hope its not too serious, as next week he is due to defend the points he gained from reaching the final in Gstaad last year, where he lost out to Roger Federer in 4 sets.
