Milos leads the series 1-0

So Milos has the only win in the series. The controversial match in Montreal this summer where he didn't acknowledge he touched the net. :nono

Will Delpo get his revenge?

If we are to judge every player by a point they kept that they did not deserve, there will be lots of names on that list. Milos talked to Delpo and his team and apologized, explained how he screwed up. They are cool.

This will be a tough one, but for London's sake, Milos in 3.

I'm glad he apologized to DP as it was the right thing to do, but it doesn't erase the intagibles in the rivalry or take a loss out of the column for Juan. I believe DP will be pumped to take this match.

If I'm not mistaken, that point was not the only point of that match. Milos beat Juan Martin 7-5, 6-4. A close match, but not close enough that one point defined the entire match.

Of course there is more than one point that decides the match. All the more reason for Delpo to want the win and level the rivalry.

Hopefully Del Po takes it and has a strong indoor season to set him up for 2014

I am saying Delpo in 3 but it could go either way. I am willing to give milos a second chance, if he proves it was a mistake instead of a pattern. So far he is earning back the respect of tennis fans.

I have to say, I am very impressed with his improvement since taking on Egghead as a coach/

His movement, back hand, and shot selection have advanced at alarming (to the competition) rates.

The dry mouth thing still drives me nuts.

Hope Del Potro wins. Raonic has the most unlikeable style of tennis on the tour.

Triple break points for Delpo, this at 5-5 in the second set.
Milos saved two but Delpo got the third.

Leading 6-5, Delpo served for it and got it done on his second match point.
Final score 7-6 7-5
Congrads to Juan for a job well done.

Very happy to wake up and see DP won. He's worked hard all year, had a lot of tough matches and this is a well earned win.
