BlackyM - Stajus 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-1
Wierd match...it could've been over in 2 sets for him, but one error one lucky moment removed that possibility...However he did not get any BP in the whole match, if he did who knows what would happen
First set
We couldnt break each other, not just that, we couldnt get chance to break each other. However he was little bit better that set, as he did showed that in TB
Second set
It was exactly like first, but at 3-3, after I missed two shots for no reason at 15-30, he had huge chance, a clear shot for 2 BPs, fortunately for me he made uncommon error for 30-30.
Then at 5-4 for me, I pretty much knew what I have to do, I knew where is he going to serve, and what will he try to do in the point, so he tried to play drop shot twice in that game, both times I was prepared, once on BP/Set point, and broke him from one and only break point of the match so far.
Third set
Started with 15-30 on my serve, and really long point where we both lost acceleration shots, however after I saved one tough situation in that point, I managed to turn it around and won it for 30-30, later for 1-0.
Then on his serve, several wierd points occured where we were both running literally on every single part of the court, from net to several meters behind baseline. So I found myself with 15-40, couldnt convert it, but he continued to gave me points with errors, and on one 40-AD, he made another error for a early break 2-0-
At 3-0, I had like 3-4 BP chances, and there were 7-8 Deuces but he saved it, however at 4-1, i took 0-40 lead and won it 6-1, after he completley lost will to play in the last game
