Michael Przysiężny incredible success! Pole and Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert won the doubles tournament on the ATP hard courts in Tokyo! In the final three sets and 86 minutes of gameplay defeated Croatian-Brazilian duo Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo 6: 3, 6, 7 (3: 7), 10-5.
Finally for the victory Pole received a check – to divide – to 87.7 thousand. euro and 500 doubles ranking points.
Couple History Polish-French is quite unusual. If only because the men … were eliminated in the qualifying tournament of the Japanese. In the main ladder were only due to the fact that Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdrew from the competition.
I started the concert. Legendary Bob and Mike Bryan? Goodbye. Jamie Murray and John Peers? Also. Finalists Australian Open – Eric Butorac and Raven Klaasen – in the semi-final battle? Gentlemen also have to thank. And finally: Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo. A similar story of a Polish athlete has long since we have not seen. All the more so when we consider that the popular “pencil” in doubles copes rather … poorly. This season, three times competed in the contest, and three times losing in the first round.
– This is for us something amazing. We lost the preliminaries, we did not expect that we will play in the main ladder. We wanted to have a good time – did not hide his emotion after the final triumph Przysiężny. Herbert confirmed the words Pole. – We had a really great time, and it is all like a fairy tale.
