Yes VT held serve.. My scoreboard showed 15-40 to Alex and then the game ending, so I just presumed that he must of won it; but then sadly it altered itself..
One service game too late though really. VT missed quite a few shots in that game though; probably relaxed after going one break up.. Hopefully he'll continue to lose his focus.
Yes true, he does seem to be trying.. Whether that's a good thing though, trying his utmost and still coming up short, is debatable. I'm guessing he has a bit of a DC hangover and still trying to get back into his hardcourt game..
Huge crosscourt forehand from VT at 30-30 gave him the BP and despite losing it produces a big DTL forehand to get a second BP.. Which turns out to be a crazy point. Alex spoons a half volley up high at the net leaving VT with a seemingly simple put away, however he tries to be too clever and floats it cross court which Alex reaches to slice DTL for the winner. Nice point! VT takes it at the third time of asking though when Alex double faults..
