Still no BPs faced by James.....holds for 5-5

Sheddie · administrator

And so far he's matching Moodie ace for ace - it's 8-8

Moodie is 30-0 up now. Hasn't really given James a look on his serve apart from that game when he had the bp

40-0

Game Moodie 6-5....James needs to continue his fine performace to force the TB....If he can then he is favourite for the 1st Set

James is serving to stay in the set again now: 5-6

Sheddie · administrator

15-15

15-30:

30-30

Sheddie · administrator

40-30

And it's a breaker 6-6

I'd say it's pretty even going into this, both have had 1 bp and fairly equal half-chances on the other's serve. All to play for.

They're 1-1 in tiebreaks before this match

Sheddie · administrator

James has got the opening point and a minibreak

2-0

3-0

Sheddie · administrator

James is really storming through this breaker

4-0

5-0: 3 minibreaks now, just two points away from the opening set

Sheddie · administrator

5-1: He's lost one of them but hopefully it won't matter

5-2

Sheddie · administrator

6-2

4 set points !

Sheddie · administrator

6-3

But now 2 set points on his serve

And he takes the 1st one, 1st set Auckland 7-6[3]

great work from james, but he's got to stay focused as he's only half way there and moodie wont give up,

will there be any breaks? or another TB i wonder.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's another TB, but James is serving first this time so if he can keep holding maybe Moodie might feel the pressure when serving to stay in the match.

James opened the 2nd set with a love hold including his 10th ace

Moodie is 30-0 up with his 9th ace

30-15
