Nice crafty point by Stepanek.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great get from Rafa...lost the point but still, that was the definition of giving your opponent one more shot.

Did anyone catch Stan today? If so, how did he play? I know he won, but in terms of his overall quality.

Only watched the last few games 'cos I don't make a habit of watching Karlovic matches lol. He served really well in the small bit that I saw though.

Rafa levels at 6-4. In the decider Radek will serve first.

I watched some of it but as you can imagine, it is so hard to judge a player when he is playing Ivo. He got a break in each set, served well. I did not see a whole lot of baseline exchanges but the backhand was lovely as usual.

Meanwhile, LeMonf takes the opener 6-2 over Stakhouse

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rafa wins the last set 6-1, I am off to bed...apparently I am losing an hour of sleep.

^ My stream died there again for a bit but that sounds about right. Anytime I've seen Stepanek convincingly win a first set against a top player there's a strong likelihood he loses the next two dismally.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa threatens to give the break back?

 

[Front242]

^ Quite like his other half, Kvitova in that regard but as I type this he breaks back which is good to see. Thought he was done and dusted.

 

[Moxie]

That was short and Stepanek took advantage. Break back.

 

[kskate2]

Good night Murat. See you tomorrow. :sleepy:

Rafa has to go bolder. Play Stepanek at his own game.

Get drunk, act sleazy and nail anything with a heartbeat seems to be Stepanek's motto :snigger Or you mean a different game ?

Well, I didn't mean be a serial-"dater" of much younger tennis players, no. I was thinking of aggression on court.
