RE: ATP Basel 2R: Henman v Wawrinka


Now 4 games all.

Tim seemed to move awkwardly in that game and hurt an ankle; he didn't stop playing but is hobbling a bit.

The ankle doesn't seem to be bothering Tim, but he drops his serve anyway and Wawrinka is to serve for the match.

A long game, with Tim coming back from 40-15 and saving several match points; an argument with the umpire over one of his shots called out (and on the replay I have to say it looked in), but Wawrink finally serves it out and takes the decider 6-4. And now I have to run to the kitchen, there is a smell of burning (again!)

He was hobbling badly when it first happened, but seemed to recover quickly. His loss of serve in the next game did not seem to be because of difficulty in movement but because of an inability to keep the ball in the lines - although as I said earlier, one of the "out" calls looked to be in on replay. The quality of the livestream is not too good however, so I would not like to swear to that. Certainly in the last game he seemed to be moving very well, just got outplayed.

I started watching halfway through the second set, and it seems Tim went downhill from then on. . . how much are you all prepared to pay me not to watch any more matches?
