Volandri serving at 2-5 in the third set.


15-0
30-0
40-0, great passing shot from V after Andy reached the drop shot.
second serve: game. another drop shot from Andy, not disguised enough so V got there for the cross-court volley winner.


5-3. Andy to serve for the match.

Andy serving for the match:


second serve (there's a surprse!). 15-0, really deep second serve, V went long on the return.
second serve: 15-15, some terrible groundstrokes from Andy in that rally, really short, almost on the service line. he netted in the end.
second serve: 30-15, V went just wide in the rally.
first serve: super, out wide, V was always off the court in that point, so Andy got the easy winner. 40-15.
game set and match. good first serve, V goes out.


46 62 64 to Andy. PHEW!!

Memo - go to January sales and buy more cushions.

5 aces, only 3 double faults, 1st serve % = 60%. That's a bit more like it. Keep working on it, Andy.

I must address the commentators insistance that AM is a choker....you do not get to No 17 as a 19 year old and be a choker....for sure he had several matches last year on which he found it hard to serve out but that does not mean he is a choker....every expierience he goes through he learns from...he is a fighter for sure !!!

To be fair, they were actually saying that after failing to serve out a few matches on the US hardcourts, he's in danger of getting a reputation in the locker room as a choker, and if he does it would become a self- fulfilling prophesy..... not quite the same as saying he is a choker.
