Sumit holds after numerous deuces and at least two break points. 2-2, second set.

Is it just me or are others surprised by Sumit? He's got a better all round game that RamK and Yuki.

Sumit is a work in progress, and definitely has a solid all-round game. But he is much more erratic today than in the SF against Yuki.

In one game that I just saw, he had more errors than he had all of yesterday. That forehand to the right lines was always in by one inch yesterday. Jay Carke playing very well though, moving very well.

The final set starts like the first, with Sumit broken. Can he fight back?

That shot to win a 26 shot rally just now that came in from 4 feet out, is how Sumit was hitting all of yesterday. BP at Ad out, 0-1 ... And that foreheand screamer that got him the break was also how he won at last 8 points yesterday. Good that he is still hitting it, Need more of it, 63 36 11

Sumit breaks back in style, with a couple of forehand winners (the second one a spectacular service return).

Sumit holds at love. 2-1 final set. Terrific crowd is creating great atmosphere.
The forehand is Sumit's strength, but occasionally erratic. 30-all from 0-30 on Clark's serve, then 40-30 on a disputed line call. Deuce as Clark misses a volley. Ad-out as Clark puts a forehand into the net. Stunning inside-out forehand service return. Nagal breaks for 3-1.
Nagal goes 40-0 with solid serving. 40-15 on a forehand that goes long. 40-30 off a weak second serve. Nagal puts it into the net after a longish rally. Deuce. Service winner. Ad-in. Clark wins a long rally with a forehand crosscourt. Ad-in with some smart play. Sumit uses a second-serve as first serve and pays the price. Deuce. Fine volley behind a good serve. Ad-in. Cross court called out. Deuce. Lost the stream. Ad-in. Game!! 4-1

He missed one FH (argued, but looked out) and got the call at Ad out, but this could have been out. Breaks again and holds for 63 36 41.
