I wonder what Dolgo's career would have looked like if he was coach-able. So many amazing shots, such ability, but...

Dog really needs to practice his lobs. It has happened a minimum of three times in this set. Rafa hits a drop shot and Dog gets to it and does a poor lob which does not go deep and Rafa puts it away.

Some of those were tough pickups though...

From 5-3 up, Dog botched two consecutive winnable points.

But, dog is always like that. His game is too erratic to deliver when needed.

The one in the TB was, not the others.

Dog screwed up my gym trip, he better win it now.

I am talking a break and will catch the tail end of dog.

Heh heh, that was close, but what about the point Rafa played to get break point. Rafa looks very good now...

Match is over now. Dogs will be dogs. Little Wafa survives a scrub, gaining confidence for sure.

I'm not surprised that they have to go to a third set, to get the rythm playing against Dolgopolov has to be tough, it' like building a puzzle :huh:

Dog dumps serve first. 1-2

Well, he didn't "dump it", to be fair, it was quite a game by Rafa...
