BlackyM - Tom Paulman 7-6 (10), 6-2
Well, as he said server really annoyed us a lot, non-stop freezing after each game...some times for more than a minute...
After First set I asked him if he wants to continue later, but ha has to go soon, so we continued playing
First set, was very tough, but with no BP chances, until 6-6 he had 8 aces...but in tiebreak something happened...and almost every his serve was an ace...There were no minibreaks until 9-9, and I barely caught any of his serves.
Then I caught one made a lob which he missed and I had 10-9 and 2 serves, but he immediately broke back at 10-10, and then at 11-10 for me, I caught another one, I didn't pressed any button so he had almost whole court empty, but luckily for me he sent that ball into out.
He ended set with 16 aces...
Second set...I opened with break, then in my service games I barely saved one very tough BP, then I again at 2-0 I had 2 BPs and 2 big chances to convert them into another break, but he saved first with nice play on the net, and second I blow it because I missed an empty court.
Then at 3-1 I pressed again, and again I had 2 BPs, he saved them, but then I got advantage, and he made an double fault which made clear that I won't lose today
Nice Match
