Vojatenis def. Togtdyalttai(1) 3-6 6-4 7-5
I think I'm losing my touch. That, and I have a lot of trouble on hard. Voja played well, but I really should've won.
In the first set, I came out playing really aggressively. And it worked at first. I broke at 4-3 I think it was and served out the set.
Then the problems started. The second set was marred by lag all the way through. Actually at first I think it helped me, and I was up a break at one point. There were also a few times when the game froze and we had to restart. But I think he kind of got used to my tactics near the end, and he took the set.
The third had even more freezes to start with, and the lag was even worse. When he was up 2-0 15-40 on his serve it froze and he decided to quit to play his semifinal with K Z and then he said he couldn't play after that. So we came back today to finish the match. I was able to convert the first break point and then hold to get back to 2-2. Then we each held to get to 5-5. I was putting a bit more pressure on his serve than he was on mine, but oh well. At 5-5, he was serving. It was 30-40, and he decided to pull out the power slice, which caught me off guard in a point I otherwise probably would've won and which probably would've given me the match. But no. He broke me in the next game, taking advantage of a couple of errors on my part.
Congrats Voja, but it would be nice if you would play fairly in the future.
I have video of the match, but there are so many of them that I'm not going to bother.
