For some reason, I'm rooting for Anderson.

I'm enjoying watching a match where I don't particularly like or dislike either player.

Dimitrov had the perfect opportunity to get a break point on Anderson's serve, chunks the easy shot beyond the baseline. :(

Anderson feeling the pressure at 4-5; first serve goes away from him and Dimitrov has his first break points...

Have been watching this one out of the corner of my eye while writing up the women's final. (Cibulkova beat Christina McHale of the US, but in a tight one.)

Doesn't seem that anyone has the upper hand. And it looks like a TB is coming. Does it favor the big server, as per conventional wisdom?

Great TB by Dimitrov to take the opener.

Anderson has been having troubles with his FH all week.

EDIT: And I might nod off if this isn't a straight-sets final.

I'm going to DVR the rest of this and say good night. :D

Well played Dimitrov. First ATP 500 title and up to world number 16. Tough for Anderson and that error to give Dimitrov match point will be a tough one for him.

Dimitrov gets it, after being down a break, in the TB. Moves to #16. Kevin's a bit crushed but it was just a little here and there. Good final.
