Pic froze but now they're off court so I assume Cilic took the bp to win the 1st set 6-3 with two breaks.

hmm not good cilic really loosk like has al on the back foot here.

steven · Tennis legend

Cilic isn't the kind of player you want to meet in R1 when your form's been a bit shaky the last couple of weeks, is he.

Alex should be beating him though, i he really has designs on the top 100, and he needs to pile up some points the next few weeks - if he doesn't score any points between now and the end of the year, he'll end 2006 down in the 140s, and he's got a pile of points to defend early next year.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

both a al's break in the game were from df's, his head obviusly isnt in it at the moment.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

al is having words with the umpire - dogdy line call?

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

A fairly solid hold by Al to take it to 1-1, though he was more given the game rathre than actually winning it

steven · Tennis legend

Not sure, couldn't hear it

Count Zero · Tennis legend

cilic may be a clay player but the prbolem is when u have a massive serve it helps in doors a lot.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Al got to 30-30 on te Cilic serve, but Cilic holds

Sheddie · administrator

and he's given guys like Wawrinka and Robredo close matches this year

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Easy hold for Al, 2-2.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Cilic serves a love game

Sheddie · administrator

Score ?

I guess this one is quite a tough service game for Alex

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Al has 15-30 on the cilic serve
