Oh no Gilles was so unlucky to lose that set. He was definitely playing the better tennis of the two. C'mon Gilles pick yourself up. You can do it!

Well, he really was unlucky at 4-2 with the netcord. And I didn't find him too relaxed then, I'd rather say he got tight at the prospect of maybe losing the set when he felt actually in control.

I think he complained he was hitting the ball with the frame of the racquet when he lost the stupid rallye which gave Guccione SP.
His shots had no depth at all in that rallye.

Gilles keeps having break opportunities.

The sooner he starts breaking Guccione the better, since Guccione is no doubt feeding off the crowd. He wouldn't be such a rough match if they were playing somewhere else.

Gilles needs to get to work. Some sectors of MTF will be in euphoria if the Gooch beats him.

Gooch isn't getting as much support from the crowd as I was expecting. Mind you, he's got a face only a mother could love!
Break him NOW Gilles!
:rolls: nah she probably doesn't love him that much. he seems like he would be the type of baby that causes immense childbirth pain.

please break him here gilles. i can't stand another TB.

:lol: Yes, Chris got a warm welcome from the crowd when he entered the court, but they're pretty quiet now.

Gilles does some live commenting again at times, but the sound on my laptop is too bad, I can't understand what he says.

The comeback kid is on the way back. Good second set from Gilles I thought. He played some solid tennis
