Hi guys, another great day today. As I said before I was just going to battle. Lucak served well today, didn't expect him to serve as big as he did. I saved 3 match points in the tie break and had a few set points myself at 5-3 him serving and 5-4 me serving. Both long games. Feels great to end the run.
Its nearly impossible to play normal tennis out here. Not even good tennis. A mixture of the balls (babolat trophy)...maybe someone can google them. They are what I can imagine british school kids getting for tennis lessons or something. Poor at best. And the weather.
Third set was a break down, had a long game to break back and from 2-1 his legs went, which is always good to see.
Didn't see any of josh as he finished way before me and was on the same time. Good back up win from him. See what we can both do tomorrow.
QF: (5) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 510 lost to (3) Roman Jebavy (CZE) WR 442 by 4 & 2 QF: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 1121 lost to (2) Lucas Pouille (FRA) WR 410 by 2 & 1
The 1st set of Fitzy's match was particularly close - 1 bp each, I think, Jebavy taking his and saving Fitzy's. A pity neither of them could reach the SFs and get some decent points, but both did reasonably well this week and 2 points each is a lot better than none.
