And Sousa DF's to hand over the break. Sock serves for it.

I thought that winning the second set Sousa would win the third easier but after the break and the last double faults the match is finished

Good win for Sock. I like Sousa, but Sock has a much bigger FH and serve.

Yeah, Sousa played out off his skin and still not quite enough to get it done. Good match though. Sousa's second serve was probably the bigger difference though... it was punished with impunity.

Very nice result for Sock. He will be a top 20 player comes Monday.

Ah Sousa, too bad. Good effort to make it to the final.

Congratulations to Sock.
