He had tough draws in the slams this year (Safin, Nadal, Roddick early on), so he couldn't really build on any momentum. This tournament I wouldn't take too seriously, because it's not easy to go from hard to clay within a week or so.

I would look closely during this indoor season, because I think his game should suit those conditions very well.

I expected him to do better in smaller events, where he doesn't have to play top players early (or at all!). But, he really hasn't.

Look at Gasquet. He has had a horrible year. HORRIBLE! He is 24-17 through today.
