And the bagel goes to...

Juan Monaco levelled his this year's win/loss match record at 4 all as he served the first double bagel of the year to his compatriot Sergio Roitman at the Copa Telmex tournament in Buenos Aires.

This is the first classical double bagel since David Ferrer defeated Paul Goldstein in Barcelona in 2007.

This year we already had two matches, where a player won two 6/0 sets, but the matches involved also sets with a non-bagel score. Funny fact, that both those matches involved Radek Stepanek. The Czech lost at the Australian Open to Fernando Verdasco 4/6 0/6 0/6, but managed to win 5/7 6/0 6/0 against Todd Widom last week in San Jose.

Congratulations to Juan Monaco for a fantastic perfomance and our condolations to Sergio Roitman for the perhaps worst 58 minutes in his life...
