Gio won two third-set TBs last week too - he's getting to be rather a specialist at them

Certainly does smile

But he must have made a lot of faults/had winners hit past him too

Or he wouldn't have been in the third-set TB in the first place

But tiebreaks generally favour the better server, it's true

I saw Giovanni play at the Madrid Open last year, he lost easily to Navone. Can't say I rated him very much - but again, I assume as a big server clay isn't his surface.
