Queen's Club - ATP 500 - June 15th to June 21st

[Federberg]

For some reason I thought the Querrey - Dimi match was yesterday uzzled And I thought Dimi lost, but I'm seeing he won?

It was yesterday, but got stopped in the middle and finished today.

Ah! Querrey was probably leading when I saw the match. Thanks GSM Thought maybe I was seeing into the future. Was going to start working on the next lottery ticket :snicker

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Upset brewing. Rafa lost first set to dog.

I am cancelling my gym trip to watch it.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Dog is too erratic. It does not look like the upset will materialize.

Rafa holding easily. Dog struggling, but holding.

It is still on serve at 4-3 to Rafa

 

[Kieran]

Dolgo is irregular alright but he's close enough now that he could squeak it...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

UFE is mounting for dog. Still on serve 5-4 to Rafa.

Rafa is clearly playing better than Dog (independent of what is the final result).

 

[britbox]

Nadal's RoS must be a concern.

 

[Kieran]

It's more great practice for Rafa, and if he pulls out the victory, gets another precious match to prepare on. His serve impresses me. I missed the first set, lucky for him I'm here now...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Dog's lobs are just a fodder to Rafa; On serve 6-5 to Rafa.

 

[britbox]

Tie Break it is.

 

[Kieran]

Nadal's RoS must be a concern.

From what I've seen, it's more that Dolgo is serving like an ape. But when he gets a half-chance, Rafa isn't getting much joy out of it...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

finally, a good lob by dog. Onto TB

 

[kskate2]

Now in a breaker

 

[kskate2]

Rafa has the mini 3-1

 

[Kieran]

Tremendous backhand there from Rafa. Followed by a less than tremendous backhand...

 

[kskate2]

back on serve at the change 3-3

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Dog gets minibreak back. 3-3

 

[kskate2]

Dog w/ the mini. Rafa 2 pts from being out

 

[Kieran]

It's becoming a pattern, Rafa getting tight...

 

[kskate2]

Dog bails him out 5-5

 

[Kieran]

But a good trade off there on the slice backhands. He's fighting, but it's match point now. Real test of nerve...
