BMW Open MS SF
Likos def coke4 7-6(2) 5-7 7-6(11) in classic SF

He served amazingly, it was really hard to return, he also moved really well getting a lot of balls back.

1st Set -We both start off serving strong, i get a 0-30 at 2-2 but its mainly holding to 15 and 30. At 5-5 i get another 0-30 but he wins the next four points. The tie break starts off close but he starts to gain momentum and ends up taking the tie break convincingly 7-2.

2nd Set- Second set was similar to the first but he was dominating even more, and his serve was only getting stronger, however towards the end of the set i start returning better and at 5-5 he plays a bit sloppy and i up my game and i get 0-40 then break when he hits a shot wide.

3rd Set- 3rd set was closer, at 2-3 on his serve i open up a 15-40 lead, however he saves the first with a 220 kph serve to the T and on the second he hits a kick serve into the outwide corner to my BH and domitates the point from that with aggressive play. At 4-4 he got 30-40 but i save it with a slice down the T. At 5-5 he gets 30-40 again and i again hit down the T and dominate the point to save it. In the breaker it was really close, on my serve at 11-12 after a short rally i go to the net and he hits a deep topspin pass to win.

Indeed a classic one, it could have gone either way cause the match was determined in tiny details . Lots of rallies for MS match, with both of us serving great in the big points.

Coke i ll let you do the set by set description.. got to go now

You played Very Very well!!! Honestly you really played better than me through out the match as a whole, I just manged to keep it together on the biggest points. You really caught me by surprise, because this wasn't the same petrelli that I beat the last time, this pettrelli today threw everything at me and I really appreciate your fight and respect your effort, no silly shots just tactical tennis.....lol, I struggled on my serve through out the whole match....61% is awful
