UPSET ALERTR2: Francesco Dimitrov def. [3]LetsGoBro 7-5, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(6)
Well I had an eerie feeling since the draw came out that it wasn't going to be my day. I couldn't have gotten a tougher draw, especially after having been out for a long time. I had trouble trying to raise my level. Mainly I felt too indecisive, impatient and hesitant all at the same. I wasn't able to find that balance of attack and defence, and generally wasn't able to maximise my strengths which was frustrating. Those problems bit me in the ass when it came to the crucial moments. I tried to fight to get a glimmer of hope but sadly it wasn't to be. But at the same time I felt like some of it was due to the way my opponent played, so Francesco deserves full credit for a brilliant performance. He shrinks the court with his counter-punching skills and reads the game extremely well. He was the one that made things happen on the baseline. He's improved a lot and if he continues to play like this, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the near future. He's a quality player but more importantly a fantastic guy. I wish him the very best this fortnight
