BlackyM - A.Dimitrov 7-5, 7-5
He wasn't playing well, but I was even worse...so many chances, so many mistakes, every time when I had chance to cruise the set I made not one, but several mistakes.
First set...
Well he started awful...he practically gave me a break, I wasn't playing, just looking at him sending shots in out. Game after, he had 3 BPs, he made some good shots also I made some terrible ones, but at BPs I made aces and saved that game.
At 3-1 I had another BP and huge chance to make another break...well I didn't, I missed court and he saved that game. Then at 3-2 he made break, quite deserving with some great moves.
At 3-3 I immediately had BP, for rebreak, he saved it, at 4-4 I had another BPs, he saved it again, or better to say, "I didn't wanted to break him"...better when its complicated. But then at 5-5 I took one of 2 BPs, and finally broke him. Next game I confirmed that set.
Second set..
It started with my point for 0-15...well then he made 4 aces in a row (5 in whole set), next game I made two Double Faults (none in whole match before), and two outs so he broke me for 0-2, he won 8 points in a row. Very next game I rebroke, then at 1-2, I had 40-15 on my serve, BUT as stupid as I am, I started missing clear shots and making DFs, so he got another BP...fortunately for me my first serve saved it again.
Then next game at 2-2, I had 0-30, and huuuge opportunity for 0-40, but I sent drop shot into out. At 3-3, I had 15-30 on his serve, but not BP. Then at 4-5, he found him self with 15-30 and great opportunity for 2 BPs, but now my drop shot went in.
Then at 5-5 I played some brilliant 3 points, for 0-40, then missed one, then he made service winner, after game stopped for a sec, but 3rd BP was mine, i took it, after his weak drop shot. Thats it.
