I think its end of set cause there's a break for drink...Elias must have won it 6-2

Sheddie · administrator

just missed couple of games...any idea on score ?

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Bamford holds after a game that had at least 4 break points in it, and he served at least 3 double faults... he does look to be getting very frustrated here though

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Elias holds after a game that went to deuce. Bamford missed a volley, and then put a forehand long to concede the game.

Sheddie · administrator

yeah lots of ball bashing...I think he may have broken in that last game not sure...

On the penultimate point, Bamford hit a volley, and the line judge put out his arm, so I guess he lost that point, meaning he couldn't have won the game

Elias definately broke there....think Bammy had been 40-0 up in that game
