FEDERER2(Stepanek) - Rob92(Gulbis) 1-6 3-6
SET 1
The first set was closer than it looked. In my first service game i had to save break points and i eventually held. up 1-0, i had break points the next game but in usual FEDERER2 fashion, i didn't consolidate. Then it became a blowout, i had a few more bps but i didnt consolidate. Stepanek's fh was missing every other point. Gulbis' bh was firing, and rob closed out the set 6-1.
SET 2
This set was actually very close. I held again for 1-0, and then i went down 4-1 in the blink of an eye. I finally created momentum for myself holding after being down 15-30 and breaking at 4-2, and of course in FEDERER2 fashion, there was a letdown. Rob broke again at 4-3 and easily closed out a 6-1 6-3 match.
Overall i played ok, not my worst but not my best. Stepanek will officially NOT be my player
. Rob92 played super well and even if i was at my best, he played the important points too good. GG+GL in the next round rob.
