Jelena Jankovic - BlackyM 2-6, 7-6, (6), 6-2, 2-6, 6-4
I should've win in 4 sets, as 2nd set is pure, I mean pure LUCK for him, however he played 5th set amazingly good, so congrats for 5th set
Why 2nd set was pure luck
Well I had 4-3 with a break, then I missed one shot, then 2 lag points where I made errors because of lag.
But main thing happened in tiebreak, I had 5-3 and serve, and right in the middle of my serve, lag appeared, and I served slowest possible serve in the middle, so he got break back.
One also VERY IMPORTANT thing in 2nd set was, that In 30% of the points, I had no idea where my player is, because he hosted it, and there was no arrow to show me where am I on court, when defending far behind the baseline. So I had to play most of the points just by guessing where I am.
I happened also in TB at 6-5 for me, when I had to guess where am I, and made really poor shot, that he pounced.As you can see here:

Well after a break, while we were trying to fix that thing with arrow, I really lost my touch, so he got 2 breaks lead, I broke back once, but 2 games after he broke me again.
Fourht set
I started to play good as I know...so I won it
Fifth set
He played great, There were deuces on both of our serves, at 3-3 I had 40-30 on my serve, and then I missed a ball for no reason, so he took adavantage of the, got to advantage, and after several deuces he broke me.
IN last point at 4-5 40-15 for him, I had initiative in point, but then DESY appeared, giving him another chance for the same point, he serve 200 on the outer line, I got it back, I got several tough shots back, but then he hit one in the corner from the middle of the court that I couldn't catch.
So...I only congrats him on 5th set...because if it was right conditions as It should've been, as they always were before, I would win it in 4 sets
