Now Matteo needs deep breathes and lets go.

2 SP's

 

[Double Bagel]

What a time for a drop shot. Brilliant.

 

[Double Bagel]

Back on serve.

 

[kskate2]

ok. too many droppers

 

[britbox]

Two big opportunities blown.

 

[Double Bagel]

This first set is too damn nerve racking. More Wine please.

 

[kskate2]

yes Baron. he's still green about closing things out

 

[Double Bagel]

Set point for Rafa.

 

[kskate2]

SP for bull

 

[tented]

All right! He gets the set, saving SPs.

 

[kskate2]

Bad error. Told you GSM, he would give the advantage back

 

[britbox]

yes Baron. he's still green about closing things out

Sorts the men from the boys.

First set Rafa.

 

[Double Bagel]

Don't know how Matteo is going to deal with losing that set for the remainder of the match but it can't be good for him.

 

[Moxie]

That wasn't pretty, but the veteran takes the first set.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is terrible. After playing so good, nothing to show.

 

[Double Bagel]

I think Rafa and Matteo are taking a potty break now so I am as well. Hahaha

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Does anyone know when is the wedding date?

 

[Murat B.]

Sure , great, TB , whatever... I am not seeing it man. The guy has a serve, a forehand that can punish when used properly but I am not seeing that thing that makes you special. Backhand is very average. He is not quick on his feet.
Not writing him off or anything. Just not seeing what people see YET. I am slow sometimes.
