5-4 to a-rod. boggo needs a couple of good holds here!

roddick serving at 86% this set, so hopefully he'll miss a few if it goes into a breaker!

Alex looked a wee bit tight there to go 0-30 down, but a couple of great points from him has brought it back to 30 all.

Set point for A-Rod. Come on, Alex - big serve please. Alex challenges a first serve that was called a fault and wins the challenge and gets the Ace to make it deuce. Great point then to take the Ad. And another big serve to take the game! Great job so far, ALex.

It is so unlike him to hold his head together like this.

A great hold to love, and now it's into a breaker, Boggo's playing very solid,tho' he's struggled like mad on A Rod's serve this set, so Roddick has to be favourite for the breaker, but like someone else said maybe it's his time to get some faults in now.

tie break time!

2-1* to boggo

A-Rod has the MB. Alex just had a bit of a brain cramp and went to the forehand when he was in control of the point but it's being harsh.

He gets the MB back again anyway.

Boggo *4-5

Come on.

boggo *4-5 roddick. 2 big serves needed
*5-5 ace!
nooo 5-6* roddick, thought boggo would get a mp.

set roddick. grrrr

Great hold there. Didn't let the disappointment get to him and served really well. Impressive performance regardless of whether he wins or loses this today.
