2-0 Bag


Ouch, Amac needed that game to keep some momentum.


Losing that set seems to have improved Bagdatis.

3-0 Bag


Easy hold and Bagdatis stopped halfway through to chat to someone in the crowd. The umpire didn't like that and apparently gave him a warning in French.

3-1 Bag


Good first point for Amac but for the second he was drawn into the net and the enevitable happened. Alan battled through to take the game but even by his standards that was tough.

4-1 Bag


Another routine hold for Bagdatis, he is swinging freely right now but he is likely to have a dodgy service game in this set Amac needs to keep going.

4-2 Bag


The was generous from Bagdatis, he had some chances and missed, hopefully his concentration is a little down.

5-2 Bag


Bagdatis is playing better just now. Alan's more workmanlike approach isn't getting it done in this set.

5-4 Bag


Bagdatis is a little tight and Amac has a bp and a second serve. Alan does better than usual and the reply is long. Game Mackin.


The line judges are changing and good ridence.

5-5


Another error from Bagdatis and he looks thourghly fed up. Credit to Alan, he has pulled out his best at the business end of the set and he might be winning a few of the crowd over.

6-5 Bag


Bagdatis holds with a drop shot but he is rocking right now. Alan looks confident lets hope he is, and Bagdatis keeps missing.

Tiebreak


1-0 Amac


minibreak. Rally and Bagdatis misses.


1-1


Amac hit the net of a ball he thought was going long.


2-1 Amac


Another fh error from Bagdatis


3-1 Amac


Bagdatis tried his favourite trick of serving wide and the playing into the open court but there was no snap to the move and Amac runs the ball down and passes Bagdatis down the line. 


4-1 Amac


Another Bagdatis error


5-1 Amac


More strong play from Amac and another error. The crowd cheer, I guess they are not all from Cyprus.


6-1 Amac


Same again


6-2 & 6-3 Amac


Good serving from Bagdatis


6-4 Amac


A lucky net cord for Bagdatis and the crowd cheer for Alan


7-4 Amac


Alan just needs to get into a rally and Bagdatis will hit errors. The last one was high, wide and ugly.
