RB defeats BW 3-6,6-3,6-2!
By Steve England ESVN (Fair and Balanced): Consistency and fitness wins the match for RB! This was an awesome match to witness! These two were like gladiators fighting to the death! RB's fitness regimen has served him well! In fact, some of BW's shots were so well placed they should have been clear winners. When out of the blue - Ryan reaches the shot and returns it!
In the first-set BW managed to neutralize RB's dreaded-drop, but tennis is a game of adjustment. Having no success with a shot which had served him well during their last encounter. RB changes tactics and finds his forehand! The consistency of RB's strokes coupled with his ability to reach virtually every shot, made him a tough opponent for an equally fit and determined young man. In the end BW's power game fell to RB's consistency!
