We are in a TB and Ghorbel is up a mini break at *4-3

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

That mini break proves decisive as Ghorbel takes the breaker 7-5 after an hour and 17 minutes.

Tough first set loss. Neil took 2 of 11 break point chances, Ghorbel 2/2.

Now a break down in the 2nd 6-7 1-2*, long way back from here.

Another longish game on the Ghorbel serve, but *1-3.

He's so often into Ghorbel's serve that Neil has to believe he can break back. Now look after your own ..

Had 40-15* but another 2 BPs pass by, one by an ace. Now 2/14 on BPs.

*2-4

indiana · Tennis legend

Had 30-0* against the Ghorbel serve, but this time didn't get to deuce.

*3-5

Now hold and finally get that darned break !

indiana · Tennis legend

Neil saves a couple of MPs ( the first BPs he'd saved ) but not a third.

Loses 7-6(5) 6-3, I imagine very frustratingly.
