RG, R1: (WC)Maxime Teixeira def (WC)Vincent Millot 6-2, 5-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-1

Two local guys fighting hard for a match against Roger. Epic.

The next match should be competitive :p

You mean a match against Lopez, right?

I can just imagine what the crowd was like.

Very good to see Teixeira winning your first victory on Grand Slam in your first match of Grand Slam!

Millot = Mug!

You mean a match against Lopez, right?

I wish :secret:

Curious to see what Teixeira plays like. Apparently, he's a pusher (from his description of his own game) but good mental performance in any case :lol:

Tracked this match the whole time. Teixeira was up 6-2, and then 4-0 in the 2nd set. It looked like he would win an easier straight setter. He blew the 2ndset, then lost the 3rd set tiebreak. In the 4th set he got broken the very first game, but broke right now. Millot broke him again at 3-3, and Millot was *4-3 and two holds from the match. Needless to say he blew the 4th set, and then got dismantled in the 5th.

Very nice from Teixeira being able to keep his composure.

His surname pronounces like TeisheirA or what?

Is Teixeira of Brazilian origins?

Portuguese origins, actually.

Nice comeback from the Frenchman, who was down a break in the 4th. Hard battle of almost 4 hours. Teixeira has a Serra/Benneteau mix type of game, counter-puncher. Pretty decent talent. Hopefully he gives a good account of himself v Roger or Feli.

Long match but Teixeira was more in it mentally
