What a Match...


Ollie Rochus played Marty Fish in Lyon today.

Final Score 7-6(6) 6-7(5) 6-7(15) to Rochus

The match lasted for over 3 hrs and consisted of 39 games and 267 points. Ollie edged out fish 135 to 132 points. Thats longer than some 5 set matches.

Fish must have been gutted (pardon the pun) as he served 43 ACES to Rochus 2.

They both faced 7bps each...both taking only 2.

From the stats it seems that Marty's 2nd serve let him down.

I wonder how many match points Fish had ?

They both must have been dead in the end....Tsonga must fancy his chances in the next round !

wow, sounds like a stunner! I kinda hope Rochus goes on to do well now, looks like he seriously deserves it but sadly I agree that Tsonga is likely to walk the next round :( Oh well, it's all a part of what makes tennis such a great sport biggrin.gif

Meanwhile in Basle, Ivo Karolvic saved five match points to beat Tomas Berdych 6-7(5) 7-6(2) 7-6(13). Ivo took it on his fifth match point.

There were no breaks of serve and was an hour shorter than Rochus v Fish.
