Unfortunately, it's the German who ends the sequence of breaks.

7-6(5) *3-3

steven · Tennis legend

Fortunately, Jamie manages to hold too - 7-6(5) 4-3*

steven · Tennis legend

They each hold once more, so it's 7-6(5) 5-4* ...

steven · Tennis legend

Schüttler holds for 5-5 and the stream goes dead, saying it is "not available in this region" - why now?!?!?

To the third

steven · Tennis legend

All going a bit wrong now

- Schüttler won 5 games in a row before Jamie held again - 7-6(5) 7-5 1-2*

steven · Tennis legend

... and there's the double break

1-4*

Can't get the stream, so I can't see exactly what has gone wrong.

steven · Tennis legend

Schüttler eventually won 6-7(5) 7-5 6-1

A good week, but he'll probably feel this is one that got away. Having not had the stream for the 3rd set, it's hard to tell why it slipped away so fast, but the sheer amount of running he had to do in the first two sets to get into a potentially winning position may have taken its toll in the end.

Ah pity cry But, still a very good week for Jamie.
