shame but hardly surprising.

If Auckland can hold serve I think he still has a chance but only a very small one.

DT is obviously startign to read james game much better and thats oftena problem agaisnt the top guys as when they get a hang of your game you aer in trouble. i think DT is also finfind his serve, hitting a lot of aces now.

Vonce · Club Coach

40-15 up on his serve, 2nd serve.

James takes it to hold the opening game of the 3rd set.

Sheddie · administrator

James went 0-15 down but he won the next 4 points to hold

6-3, 3-6, 1-0

That's true, however, Auckland has his massive serve which is still causing Tursunov problems

Unfortunately, as you say, DT is holding a lot more easily now

40-0 up

And when is DT going to get tired from that long match last Sunday, then the travel and this week? lol....I was hoping that if James won a set then he'd take a tired blogger in the third.....
