Tennis Forever

[JamesDap]

Klizan was not to be denied in the end, won the third 6-3. The shot he came up with on match point - a leaping crosscourt forehand smash hit almost to a right angle and just painting the singles alley on its way - summed it up. He was fearless and even getting broken by Nadal didn't seem to daunt him. Nadal did try to mix it up a bit by coming in more often in the third but he didn't ultimately pursue that tactic with enough conviction and even lost some points as he netted the volley. Massive upset. Klizan did trouble him at Wimbledon and this time, he saw it through. It might be a once in a blue moon event, still Berdych better not take Klizan for granted.
