Well, that wasn't great, but at least there's plenty of time for recovery.

4-1 down looks horrible....but just one break.....I still think Tim will get used to his game and look to attack and beat him at the net.....not sure he can win this one from the baseline but this is a guy who has not seen many players at the net growing up in south america....

Tim stops the mini rot in a close service game, 4-2. Coming from 15-30 down.

Tim will surely get another half-chance in this set if he keeps holding. I think he probably needs to get to the net a lot more than he has been doing in the past couple of weeks, in this match. Against Boggo, he rarely approached the net, the occasional chip-charge and coming in to finish off a point. Boggo hit a couple of stunning passes when Tim serve-volleyed and Tim stopped. Against Murray, he played mainly from the baseline aswell apart from chip-charging.

Tim's forehand is a real weapon from the back on fast courts but I think he needs to get to the net a lot more, that's where his strength is and indoors if he keeps staying back he's going to get outhit as against Srichaphan in the end.

Tim really needs to pressurize DP a lot by getting to the net when possible

Henman admitted in the pre-match interview that he didn't know anything really about Del Potro's game, he'd just seen that he'd had some good results. He said that he'd concentrate on his own game and let Del Potro worry about him.

Big chance for Tim to break back now, looks like DP is getting tight.

0-30 !
