Yes, and that's him won 11 out of his last 13 tiebreaks. In the second set. I think Tipsy may not have won a point iin the last 2 games.

I didn't see any of the match and just really caught the last few games on scoreboard.

He had 55% first serves in. 8 aces and 2 double faiults ( actually the first for a while )

He converted 3 out of 8 break points, Tipsy 2 out of 7.

Verdasco next then, who he beat in the final last year smile

Completely missed the match, because the stupid hospital decided to discharge my sister at 4 o'clock. . . sounds like I didn't miss very much. Andy's draw was tricky at the start with potential banana-skins like Troicki, Gulbis and Tipsy, but now that he has come through them I think he should retain his title without many problems. He has never had much trouble with Verdasco before, while Hanescu or Golubev ought to be straightforward for him. Unless his serve goes AWOL. ashamed
