Too early to speculate but I imagine a loss here would drop him out of the top 5.

Yeah, he'll take a huge hit on the points.

Lukas grabs the third set. Could be a looong day for Stan.

First break point in the match, to stay in the match and Janko breaks Raonic. 5:5 in the 3rd. Good to see him giving it a go and playing again. Could have had some luck in his draw.

Immediately he faced 3 break points, but managed to save them and hold. Raonic to serve to get to 3rd set tiebreak.

stanosaurus is in danger of becoming extinct via Lukas rosol..1-2 in sets. yikes.

 

[Billie]

That was a gutsy hold by Rosol in the 4th set.

 

[Billie]

Wow what a point from both Stan and Lucas.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yeah that rally was class. hopefully stan wakes up abit..but rosol looks to be in nadalbotherer form.

 

[Billie]

Saving those 2 break points to hold for 3:2 in the 4th might be crucial for Stan.

 

[britbox]

Big hold for Stan in return!

 

[britbox]

Lukas has made some terrific dropshots today - really kept Stan on his toes.

 

[Billie]

Anybody got Rosol winning in the draw challenge?

 

[Billie]

Lukas has made some terrific dropshots today - really kept Stan on his toes.

I haven't watched the whole match but what I have, it looks like Lukas made a lot of terrific shots. And does not look intimidated by playing the defending champion here, at all.

Dusty Brown into a fifth set decider with Sela... would be great if the Dreadlocked one made it into the second round.

 

[Billie]

I am cheering for Dustin too. Stan breaks and will serve for the set.

 

[britbox]

Stan becomes Stan the Man again and levels this baby up.

 

[Billie]

Stan becomes Stan the Man again and levels this baby up.

Which means no sleep for you, yet.

 

[britbox]

I could frame those DTL backhands - work of art.

 

[Billie]

Dustin does it, 6:4 in the fifth.

And Stan with a break in the fifth set.

 

[britbox]

Very pleased for Dustin.

I think Stan will see this through now. I'm going to head to bed!

 

[Billie]

sweet dreams BB!!!:sleep:
