Slabba finally faces a bp ... saved

christian · Intermediate Club Player

This is the last time i'll post about Slabb looking strong

steven · Tennis legend

James loses the 1st 3-6 but Slabba is serving for his 1st set at 5-3

Slabba has to survive another bp and a few deuces but finally takes it 6-3

Slabba serving for the set

That's at least 2 set points missed

saved

taken 6-3

(not sure how many set points he needed but it was quite a few)

Still amazed how well Slabba is doing. Surely he must get a WC into Wimbledon after this. There are a lot of players worse than Muller on the grass.

Slabba struggling when he misses his 1st serve and I think he missed his last 3 first serves to concede the break

Hope that wasn't the match right there but have to say I fear the worst.

I'm off now so hope Slabba can find a way to turn it around.

steven · Tennis legend

Slabba got broken :(

Not sure how many set points Bloomers has had, but he's just missed one at 8-7 on serve :(

... but takes it 10-8!

christian · Intermediate Club Player

Bloomers takes a real topsy turvy tie break and Wardy hanging in just held serve in what seemed the longest game ever.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Slabs breaks!!

steven · Tennis legend

... and so does Wardy!!

Well done Bloomers for winning the TB and saving 2 set points, as I thought he was going to lose it when he threw the mini-break away - hope he can keep him going in set 2 now

Slabba's playing well by the looks of it, and he's finally gotten the break back against Umdomchoke and saved at least 2 set points - I think Slabba should win this now which would be a great win for him.

James Ward is having a great performance as well as he's got the break now and should win this set, which is a surprise as earlier on I had thought the match would be over quite quickly - this would be a massive win for him if he can do it
