That's true, but James has beaten him before. He won in straights on carpet at the Aachen Challenger last October.
Colin holds for 4-2 and pushed hard for a double break then, but Mertl held on for 4-3.
Goodall v De Voest is on serve in the 2nd set, 2-1 to Goodall and 30-15 to De Voest. Having seen a couple of Goodall matches in the past, often for the majority of the match he can be holding really comfortably but then he unexpectedly drops in a service game where he has a concentration lapse, misses a few 1st serves and makes some sloppy groundstroke errors. This can cost him against big servers.
Now Goodall has a bp - 30-40 against De Voest.
Auckland v Bolelli is 2-2, 40-40 on the Italian's serve in set 2.
Lol steven, how could you tell ! Viva le Fleming !!!
That win has made my day. I've changed my username in honour of the occasion.
James Auckland was broken in set 2 but he's broken back for 3-4 and he's now serving to level things.
Josh Goodall had to save some bps but he held on for 4-1 in set 2 against De Voest and as I type he's now broken again for 5-1 so a deciding set beckons and Josh will have all the momentum.
