4 - 2 to Tom

paulisi · Tennis legend

Cracking start by Tom and bear in mind his serve was broken in his second service game.

Tom fails to hold when serving for the set 5-4.

DF · Tennis legend

After a strong start back even
5 - 5

Come on Tom. You can do it.

DF · Tennis legend

A strong start again 4 - 0

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

4-4 now though.

DF · Tennis legend

The Brazilian closes the gap again
4 - 4

Tom lost the tie break 7-5, but had enough chances to take the set. Still not out of this match.

DF · Tennis legend

What a shame. He loses the first set

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Long way to go yet though. Come on Tom.

DF · Tennis legend

Hope he doesn't give up
As paulsi says he had chances in that set too

korriban · Challenger level

Tom was 5-2 up, 6-5 up and 4-0 up in the TB, but lost that set. Tom certainly playing above his pay grade, but credit to the Brasilian for keeping things close enough to claw the set back. Very tough mentally for Tom now, so if he manages to keep this set competitive, will be a big step up from his previous SF. Good luck!!
