Adelaide International, 2020 - ATP 250

[mrzz]

two great first serves and set point FAA

 

[mrzz]

One set all in an absolutely great match

 

[mrzz]

By the way FAA in this match the more aggressive player. Rublev developing a tennis IQ and choosing his time to attack.

 

[mrzz]

Maybe Rublev felt the lost match points and is broken for the first time in the match. 2x0 FAA in the third and it looks he will run away with it.

 

[kskate2]

Not quite. Youngster loses focus and is broken at love

 

[mrzz]

When it seemed the match was over, Rublev breaks back. After being down 0-3, 2x3 and back on serve.

 

[mrzz]

FAA let his level dip... let's see this service game now. Rublev was able to regroup. Let's see if FAA can do the same.

 

[kskate2]

Glad to see FAA find his form. He really struggled at the ATP cup

 

[mrzz]

I am extremely impressed by FAA's forehand.

 

[mrzz]

...and just because I wrote that he misses an easy one to go 0-30

 

[kskate2]

BH not too shabby either

 

[mrzz]

Rublev breaks and will serve for the match.

 

[mrzz]

BP came courtesy from a monstrous return at deuce.

 

[kskate2]

a little sloppy in that last game. Rublev to serve for it

 

[kskate2]

mp's for the Russian

 

[mrzz]

2 MPs Rublev on serve. FAA saves the first.

 

[kskate2]

ughh. Ugly way to end it on that OH

 

[mrzz]

Rublev dug this out from I don't know where honestly. FAA played absolutely brilliant tennis at patches. Very, very few players would have won this match.

 

[the AntiPusher]

FAA should be ashamed of himself for choking away that match..
