Jack takes the 3rd set 6-0! Well done Jack

Priesty · Challenger level

Strange match, but I can understand them both wanting to take advantage of the local patisserie whilst in France wink perhaps Jack was so impressed by Escoffier's bagel that he thought he'd help himself to one!

Only on and off - it was on while I was doing other stuff, so I can't really make any useful comments or observations!

Edit - oh sorry you were asking CD not me!!

I only watched the last set which was as the score says - so no idea what was going on before that....

Jack looked comfortably in control in the first set even though Escoffier was playing well. He went a break down at the start of the second but looked well in contention until the umpire overruled a line call on game point. The ball looked clearly out Jack was very upset by the umpire's decision as he hadn't tried to play the ball because of the clear call from the line judge. This lead to him going 4-0 down and he just seemed to give up on the set after that. He stepped up a level again in the final set for a comfortable win. Never in doubt really.

That makes the score perfectly understandable.
