James played some excellent tennis in that set - distributing the ball particularly well on his forehand side. Especially like his shortened, angled cross-court forehand which seems to catch out the Swede....

And definitely the more entrepreneurial player of the two in this set.

Got a little lucky though at *4-3, when he was 0-40 down and saved three BPs. So no real surprise when he got broken at *5-4, serving for it.

But, at 5-5, once again had his chances and broke.

Shame he doesn't seem to have a drop-shot in his weapons - he's has the Swede pinned back on the back wall in some rallies and not managed to finish them off.

His serve doesn't so any damage either - no cheap points. And the second one sits up (as per the first SP which Marzi lost). Cracking BH winner though from the Swede at 40-40.

Into a tie-break . . .

One nasty error from Eriksson, one 'OK' error and one service winner from james (yeh!) gave James 3-0.

But one error from James when under a lot of pressure, one good serve from the Swede and one good attack on Marzi's second serve made it 3-3

Then a brilliant, long 50-50 point, where the final shot from the Swede was (seemingly) out by a fraction was point to James (and huge hoo-hah from Eriksson) and a good attack on the Swede's second serve made it 5-3 to James.

A backhand just out gave a point to the home man. 5-4

Followed by two good serves (what do I know???) from James, the first forcing the return long and the second setting up a forehand winner means 7-5 to James !!!

Sorry Bob smile

Are you in the depths of the Brazilian jungle or some such far-flung place ????

I've had no problem with their transmission this week - doesn't have any sound, though, but I think that's the way they've set it up.

Not yet.  Still is sunny Spain.  Managed a few minutes of Willbomb earlier this week but this just won't load today. Have to settle for live scores.

Big match as a win will push Marzi ever closer to that elusive Top 500 threshold wink
