Marcos has just defeated B. Becker 7-6 6-1. The 1st set has been pretty tight, none of the players wanted to give it up. Marcos kept focused and took it 10-8 in the tiebreak. Then, Becker lost grip on the match and seemed to have lost focus. Marcos easily broke him at the beginning of the 2nd set, and broke him a 2nd time, holding serve, making it 5-0. Becker won a game but Marcos took the match in the following game. It was nice to see them, shaking hands at the end of the match, smiling and chatting. Good guys!  Next up stands Del Potro (more than probably) |
