Miami R1: Malisse def. Sweeting 7-6(3) 6-4

X-Man had his predictable struggles closing out the sets/match but got the job done in the end. He's a Florida guy so I expect a good run from him this event.

Good job competing Ryan S.

Good for Xavier

Another nervous game by X-man!
He didn't serve for the first set but won the tie-break and started clowning again when he was winning 5-4 and serving for the match. Luckily Sweeting didn't let him to choke.

Next is Llodra, last time Malisse won 7-6 6-1 6-1 in AO, hope he can remember that day.
