Good stuff from Dan to hang in well in the tiebreak and come through and win it after having lost his last 6 tiebreaks.

Hopefully, he can go on from here and win.

...he won't win if he continues in the vein of game 1 of the decider - 2 doubles and the advantage goes to the Ukrainian

4-6 7-6(4) 0-1*

Ah.  Yes it was more hope than true expectation.  How not to keep on top of someone after you've just won a tiebreak. 

Hope remains though, early days in 3rd set.  Pick it up again, Dan.

Dan bounces back, winning 5 out of 6 second serve points (the other two were first serve aces) to regain parity

4-6 7-6(4) 1*-1

A long game with two bps saved but a third results in a double so it is 1-2* (Dan currently struggling on 0/8 on second serve this set)
