he was playin on a whole nother level if he improves his service we can win them all

Yeah, I felt very confident and comfortable when I was returning. Which is unusual to say the least when I'm up against you.
You returned very well yourself, and I was beginning to feel the pressure on my serve so I decided after that first break in the first set to start risking off the return. (Something I've begun to stop doing to stop giving away free points) But for some reason even though I haven't practiced risk returning in ages it all came together and I pulled off some great shots.
I also felt that when it came to rallies I was consistent, not hitting many winners but barely hitting any errors, and that paid off very well in the tiebreak where I was down a minibreak. Great match!

I was very lucky to be able to close it out, you had many break points in that last game but my improved serve got me out of trouble, but I still need to work on my serve ALLOT to be able to hang with the big players.
Work me a boss.
