BlackyM - Dwayne 6-3, 6-7 (1), 6-2
Great match...again...I was luckier in third set...and thats why i won it
First set
We both were missing a lot, maybe we needed to adjust to the conditions...which were good...Drama started when I saved BP at 1-1 I think, then he saved one BP, then again I save 3 BPs...but very next game I broke him from my second BP in that game, 3rd in set...and I finished that set 6-3
I was serving well, or he was returning bad...or maybe both, that saved me in first set
Second set
I was always behind on his serve, Like I want him to have 30-0 or similar result, before I start to play...always some brutal mistakes, at crucial moments...but even with lots of errors...I had BP...which he saved with an Ace...Whole match was some "Ace fest"...then after that...I just lost myself...I couldn't win a point in reallys...but with lots of Aces I managed to get to the tiebreak...when myserve just stopped...couldn't hit first serve...and with bad play in the point he found him self with 6-1, 5 set points...in less than a minute
Third set
Well I knew that I have to start play better, or I'm out...so I kinda did...but still he won his first serve quite comfortably...and then at 2-1, at 30-30...my shot touched the net, and I won luckiest and what it found to be most important point of the match, because in the next point he made an error, and I broke him for 3-1.
Then I started to play great...at 4-1 I had 4 BPs...30-40 and 3 advantages...he saved it somehow...but at 5-2, I won another BP, and this time i took it, and won the match
I had 31 Ace, he had 16...so Its kinda understandable why he couldn't break me...he had bad returning day...
Also we both had lots of error 24-23 for me...
