As great a shape Thomas is in, his age is catching up with him at this level. I know Goldie is a great doubles player, as was JT, but it was very evident in Dallas and I think will be the rest of the year, he is usually the weak link on the court. As long as B/M can keep a high % of first serves and play Thomas when needed, I like their chances here.
5-3 B/M.....break right here for the set!!!
