Coup Droit · Tennis legend

About the most irritating match I've seen in ages - do all the hard work, have the chances, and then every single time, but every single time, zero focus and hideous unforced errors.

Charlie lost, 7-6(4) 6-4 ::((

Only saw the third set but Paul was playing well - it was tight at the beginning of the set but then when Paul broke, Casanova decided to have a most definite sulk and barely won another point

Ditto. I saw the last 5 games and Casanova wasn't loving it at all. That underarm serve bounced before it reached the net LOL.

Paul is doing very solidly here - these are tough matches out in Latin America on the clay and it is good to see him getting these wins.

He is now slipping ahead of Aidan on points countback and has got to a live 300 in the world, versus Aidan at 302.

Kudos and glad he is going this Challenger route!!
