Rochus ends Parmar's winning run

Parmar earned his first Tour win since June 2004 in his first match
Arvind Parmar's surprise run in the Rotterdam Open ended when he was beaten
6-3 6-3 by Belgium's Christophe Rochus in the quarter-finals.

Parmar, who was in the tournament as a lucky loser after Rafael Nadal's
withdrawal, was the last Briton in the event after Tim Henman's defeat.

Rochus broke twice in the first set and Parmar was treated for an
abdominal problem at the start of the second.

Another break to go 3-1 up proved enough for Rochus to see off Parmar.

"I've had a stomach pull over last few days," said the Briton. "It affected
my serve but not my groundstrokes.

"I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't do better, but this has still
been a really good week for me."

Despite the defeat, it was a good week for British number five Parmar,
who was ranked 230th in the world at the start.

He beat Paradorn Srichaphan in round one and then overcame Dominik Meffert
to earn his clash with Rochus and the chance to reach an ATP semi-final for
the first time in his career.

Parmar made a good start with a brilliant backhand lob which landed just
inside the baseline in his first service game but was soon under pressure.

He saved one break point in the fifth game before conceding it to Rochus
and although he broke back immediately, the Belgian broke again to love and
went on to win the set.

Parmar hit back from 0-30 down to hold in his first service game of the
second set but Rochus again dictated play.

Although Parmar had a break point in the fifth game he failed to take it
and the Belgian secured his place in the last four.

Russia's Nikolay Davydenko reached the semi-finals with a 6-4 6-2 win
over Daniele Bracciali.

He faces Radek Stepanek next after the sixth seed beat Tim Henman's
conqueror Novak Djokovic 7-5 4-6 7-6 (7-2).

=======================================================================

這篇新浪沒報導我必需學者自己翻。

英國會外賽選手帕馬在鹿特丹的神奇之路終於被主辦國臨國的選手Oliver Rochus
，這位三度打入大滿貫賽十六強，身高一米六二的比利時小巨人終結。


其實帕馬一開始打出很聰明的反手上旋吊高球穿越網前的Rochus得分，但之後他就
感到壓力並且在第五局救回一個破發點後還是被Rochus破發。Rochus在第一盤破了兩
次發球局並且以6-3拿下第一盤。


Parmer在第二盤2-1的時候叫了傷停來治療他的胃部，他的胃部疼動，叫完傷停治
寮後Rochus繼續破發球局把比數拉大成3-1領先，並以6-3拿下贏得勝利。


"過去幾天我的胃部一直很痛，但他影響到是我的發球而非抽球。我有一點失望我
今天沒能表現更好，但我很滿意這一週的表現。"


其實這位英國排名第五的選手在擊敗Srichaphan之後，就已經獲得生涯的勝利。
而且還進入八強，對於以往都在挑戰賽打滾的他，其實算很夠本的，希望未來他也
有持續很好的表現。
