Taking a break
Doing my best
The beauty of an open roof on a day with no rain
Pretty happy with that point
The ball kids doing their stuff to keep the balls tidy

One down, six to go. Tape must have helped.

Wow, that was fast
Wow, my racquet is working well today
Another tiebreak, jeepers, I'm sure I can win this one
Gulbis Power
Another tiebreak, jeepers, I'm sure I can win this one
In a post match interview Gulbis said "Am really happy I didn't choke in the end... as usual"
He also said (with a touch of sarcasm) "I'm really well known for mental strength, watch my previous matches".
I really hate those tiebreaks
Until next time
