Dr.Ivo def. Mariia Kirilenko 4-6,6-3,7-6(3),7-6(6)!
Cmooon!
My first quarterfinals of Grand Slam...it was first R16 too
Im very happy with my performance except the seventh game of the first set considering that he played absolutely his best match against me ever!
1.set...it progressed with quick holds until 3-3...in that game i had 30-0, but he broke me on his first chance, i really played this game bad, i wasnt concentrated good enough
We held easily till the end of the set, but the important thing is that i didnt panic or something for losing it
2.set...it had its turbulences...i had break point at the beginning, but than he had break point in i dont know which result, maybe 2-1 or 3-2, that was important to save
When i saved it, i played really more relaxed and at 4-3 i made my first break of the match with much luck, he made double fault and i had one net cord, sorry for that game

, and i served it out easily
3.set...uhh, it was tough...he had a set point at 5-4

, but i was lucky to save it, and than we moved to the breaker and there he made double fault on first point but i squandered that advantage and he got to 3-2...then i played really good rest of it and won 5 points in a row to seal it!
4.set...well, it was really good set of him, i didnt expect him to play that good...i had my first match point at 5-4, but he saved it with an ace!
We got to tiebreak which was really tense at the beggining, we got to 3-3...i made a minibreak and got to 6-3, i had 3 match points in which he played great and saved it

...fortunately i won next point and i could play relaxed at my fifth match point in which i played great net point and finally won!
Turning point was maybe his third set setpoint

...he finally learned how to hit short passing shots which made my life really difficult, he put in a hell of a fight
Man, great match and GL in the future!
