Yes, I hope these players realise some of us care what happens to them! James is making a great match of it so far. In ranking terms though, for someone at his level, the difference between winning the 3rd set and losing it is HUGE.

Final set, Gensse serving:

15-0
15-15
30-15
30-30
30-40 BP
Game

Ward 7-6 4-6 *1-0 Gensse

Ward gets off on the right foot in the final set and breaks.

Holding serve is the problem for both of them - this is the 5th consecutive break of serve.

2-0 ... though something tells me there are a few twists and turns still to come.

Lord, yes. At present he has 13 points - am I right in thinking that if he wins this match he gets another 15 points, but none if he loses?

Yes, that's right Madeline.

Relatively easy hold for Gensse, then 0-30 on James's serve, gets it back to 30-40 but break point down ... and Gensse gets the break back. cry

Ward 7-6 4-6 *2-3 Gensse

Gensse holds easily again - this set looks like going right down to the wire - neither seems to be able to get clear of the other for very long.
