1st set and 2nd were very similar, nitoflament had the upper hand by breaking me early, so one break each set and then the 3rd set i got somehow some confidence and i figured out how nitoflament plays!( after 3 official losses to him). Also i would like to mention that we had some great rallies.
Anyway 3rd set then i had the upper hand by putting pressure to his serve and having break point chances(5 i think) which i didn't convert. Then late on the 3rd set it became a lottery , nito started to risk return, risk short slice return(obsiously he was afraid of losing his control) and then the tie breaker was lottery as excepted from both of us.
I don't want to diminish nitoflament though because we all know that he is a great player, but sometimes i feel like he wants to win no matter what.
Anyway good luck for the tourney nito.
Thanks Likos're an excellent player and luckily for me I could close in the third set that was already beginning to read my game. In the first two sets I felt really comfortable playing and smooth, and can hold my serve without problems, thanks to the 2 breaks early that helped me relax. In the third thing was totally different, you began to read my game with great class and I felt quite depressed, I think you had two set points and no benefit until, as you say, came tiebriek lottery, there we broke a couple of times and luckily I was able to close in the third, I knew that if you won the third set, game would be different. I like to win, like everyone, but most enjoy playing with players like you and many others in the tour.
