Eric McFee Says:
Hi- Nico
I watched your match against Tipsarevic quite closely last week in Monte
Carlo and it was good to see you playing well. The only thing I was
disappointed about with regard to your game was that Tipsa was serving
quite a few short 2nd serves (1 metre 11/2 metres from the service line)but
unfortunately you continued to stay back on these serves instead of nailing
them and putting more pressure on him. I'm sorry you lost but good luck for
the future. Eric McFee UK
