Williams has really started to up his game and he is getting that big serve going. Dan still the better player in the rallies.

Williams holds to love. Two v. good drop shots. 3-4 Dan to serve.

Dan holds to love 4-4. I can see a TB coming

paulisi · Tennis legend

Agree a TB looks likely, both very solid. Williams is running round using the forehand to avoid the backhand.

Super drop-shot from Williams for 40-0 at 5-5 and in spite of a DF Williams wraps up the game. Dan serving to stay in the set *5-6

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Easy hold for RW. He is looking so much better than in the 1st set. Perhaps a slight drop in Dan level, he missed a couple of forehands in that game. 5-6. Dan to serve

And Evo levels it up a 6-6 coming from 0-30 down. Tie-Break time!

RW gets to 0-30 with big fh passes, but then Dan comes up with the goods in the next 4 points. TB time

thejester · Satellite level
