Alex is playing really well. So is the Argentinian. Good crowd watching and enjoying the match. 7pm in Seville. Sun shining. What could be better.

6-6 TB first set. A fair outcome.

Good job he likes a challenge ... in fact, that's the closest he's got in a 1st set this week, having lost the 1st set 6-4 in his previous two matches.

Just for the record, Alex lost the tie-break by 4-7. hmm  That said, he leads by *2-0 in the second...

That was the first break of the match. Olivo broke straight back and then there was a MTO but I didn't see who it was for. Alex then broke again, this time to love!

Whatever that trainer is getting paid, it's not enough Alex looked completely in control towards the end of the set.

Fromm what i can tell, the MTO is for Olivo but he's hidden by the umpire's chair (and my screen is small)
