5-1

Some info on Chiudinelli [thanks to Coocoocachoo]:

"Well, Marco's not your average hardhitter. He lacks the power for that, but still he can generate some pace. Has got quite a good serve. His game is aggressive in that he does not shy away from the net. He is more of a baseliner though with a stronger forehand than backhand, IMO, but there are days when it is the opposite. Basically, he is always trying to take control of the rally, but this can result in some errors. Especially when he meets players like Wang The kind of retrievers, counterpunchers are deadly for his game. But against fellow aggressive players, he does well (e.g. Feliciano Lopez, twice already this year)."

finally alex stop the rot, but needs to pullhim slef togetehr.

Alex holds for 5-2

If he can just maybe get one of these breaks back now, it will give him some confidence going into the 2nd, even if he loses the set

at the moment ales is winning the odd point or two but is rearely putting togetehr 3+ point runs which are so importnat, he does have a bp tho.

Break point for Alex !

30-40 !
