You are right about the abusive blows to the head - but he was so intent on breaking Almagro's serve and should have - he knew it and it made him mad!! As was obvious to all of us who witnessed his reaction. Glad to see him doing well again. Thanks Rob – I have always liked Youzhny's game and his drive to win.

It's a shame, because his shots are beautiful, especially the backhand. The sad fact is that he'll always be better-known for that bout of self-flagellation and not his tennis.
