Week 12 - Challenger ($35,000+H) - Rimouski, Canada (Hard)

korriban · Challenger level

Jamea *1-2. My word his opponent has a good serve. The rest is fairly average, but that serve will take some patience!

Now James *1-4. All the winners (backhands are superb) and UEs (forehands) on James racquet.......I think James is the better player, but his return of serve actually is very poor today.......must get it in play! Too many ralleys aren't starting

Now *2-5. Nothing special about his opponent at all.......once ball is in play, James is clear favourite to win points, but that's not happening.........yet. Lots of time to turn it around

First set 3-6 Zivkovic

James 3-0* second set. Much better.

James 5-0*. Perfection. Honestly Zivkovic is hopeless once they start rallying - no offesnive weapons and VERY slow.

James should cruise this if he stays solid. Now able to return serve as well.

The sliced backhand is getting a lot of points via unforced errors.

As long as James can get the return back in court, he'll win this match comfortably

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Ward breaks to love, hitting his backhand great in the last two sets

*1-0

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Ward holds to 15, included a cracker of a point to go up 30-15
