Jan · Hall of fame

Oli is *3-2 up

Jaffa · Challenger level

He's playing very well so far. That forehand is a real weapon.

Jan · Hall of fame

Oli saved a couple of break points, but eventually held to take the first set 6-4

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Oli had to save 3 BPs in that last game but hung in there so serve out the 1st set at 6-4.

Edit.

i.e. Wot Jan said.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Oli had to dig deep when serving for the first but did so admirably, and saves 2 BP's on the way to holding and takes it 6-4

Jan · Hall of fame

well at least we all agree!!!

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Oli struggling for rhythm on serve in that last game and throws in 3 DFs as he gets broken for 1-3*

Jan · Hall of fame

Oli is a break down - far too many DFs. 1-3*

edit - I'm the echo this time!

Spectator · All-time great

Hmm. Watched a game ... but alas he was broken (2 DFs at 30 all) for 1-3. Off to other things - hope the second set improves from here.

Edit: Echo twins ...

Not much excuse for lots of double faults when you're playing inside, with no wind/sun/whatever and your opponent isn't a particularly aggressive returner . . .

Get it together, Oliver . . .

Jan · Hall of fame

much better serving from OLi in that game. Still down 2-4*

Jan · Hall of fame

Oli had at least 3 BPs in that game, but couldn't break *2-5

Jaffa · Challenger level

He's been the better player by far off the ground for me, just needs to cut out the errors. I hope the one poor game doesn't end up costing him dearly, one win here is the same as reaching a 10K Futures final!
