Tough loss to Williams 75 67 16, had his chance to serve it out at 5-3.

what a choke

[SapELee]

I think it was more of Williams suddenly finding his forehand than a choke. I have seen it several times before where Williams looked like he is down and out, his forehand would catch fire. It is a headache following him sometimes (wish that he would play like that early in matches instead of when down and desperate). As for Denis, he will be all right. He has qualifying points to defend anyway.
