I accidentaly lost what I've written before, so I will just try to tell you the main things.
Australia F2 - Quick ResultsR1 - d. Loglo (#278) 6/3 6/4 - easy match, with Nick playing what he needed to win
R2 - d. de Greef (#8,#241) 2/6 7/6(8) 10-8 - tough rematch with de Greef, he even had 2 match points in second set tie-break, when it was 8-8 in last set, he made to doublefault and basically gifted Nick the win
QF - d. Peers (#4, #226) 7/6(9) 4/6 10-2 - Australian gave us lot of troubles, Nick had no chance on return, but when it came to master tiebreak, he played few incredible passing shots
SF - d. Dossetor (q, #713) 6/4 5/7 10-6 - Australian's qualification wild card played great match, but Nick again managed to win the master tiebreak
F - l. Beck (q, #570) 7/6(6) 3/6 5-10 - Nick gave it all to the first set and after two tough weeks had no energy to finish the match
We sadly didn't manage to win another home tournament, but final is still great showing from Nick. he went up to 291st place (new max).
Nick decided to take 1 week break, before taking trip to China, where he signed for 3 challenger tournaments in 3 weeks.
He also joined forces with Dominic Thiem, as they will be playing few tournaments together.
