I was more talking about the obvious speed of points as opposed the the ease but yes. Broken from 40-0, never good

4-3*

Darn !

Annoying losing serve from 40-0 up, but there was a general switch in points momentum as the set progressed.

Still winnable. Keep the faith.

Since levelling the set at 4-4 the Spaniard hasn't dropped a point on serve. I make it 19 service points in a row for him.

RJA · Hall of fame

3 break points.

For completeness, re the first set :

Went to 6-6 with another love service game against Dan.

And he lost the tiebreak 7-3 with two minibreaks.
