Wang didn't hold that game with as much ease as he tended to in the first set...4-3, bogo serving with a break. Lets see if he can keep his stuff together.

Yes, Wang is the Taiwan no 1, Stagger does keep a close interest on the Taiwan players, he's mentioned their DC tie results in the past.
Wang is really relying on his big serve to get him out of trouble right now, 3 aces in that game. Now is the crunch time for Boggo, lets hope he can hold his nerve and get lots of first serves in, he missed too many in the latter stages of the tiebreak.
It is worth noting that Al has yet to lose his serve in two sets. This is good...Lets hop he can keep up the concentration and that Wang throws in a poor game amongst the Aces
Looking at those 2nd set stats, Alex really seems to be playing better than Wang from the baseline. Wang only won 43% of his 2nd serve points and so was always in trouble when he missed his big 1st serve. Alex was very comfortable holding, serving at 67% and winning 88% points on 1st serve and 75% on 2nd serve

Hopefully you have jinxed Wang - 0-40 break point. . .
