Taylor leads 5-1, serving for the 1st set! Go Taylor!

Blimey! I wouldn't have thought Dent was any better a returner than Roddick, so is Taylor playing out of his skin right now? Or is Roddick just playing so poorly that even his serve can't save him?

 

[selesfan]

Taylor wins the first set 6-1.

 

[Sjengster]

Right, Denty! One more set like that, and you've got him!

 

[selesfan]

Go Taylor! Take it in straights!

 

[vaiva]

Keep going Dent

 

[selesfan]

Taylor gets a break in the 2nd, up 2-1!

 

[Sjengster]

Oh Denty, this would be a remarkable triumph - four more service games held, and you're there!

 

[selesfan]

Taylor holds, leads 3-1! Go Taylor, 3 more holds.

 

[Sjengster]

Dent now leads 6-1, 3-1!

I've seen the stats so far, and he's certainly going for the serve - he's only got 45% first serves in, but he's winning 85% of points on the first serve and 76% on the second. By contrast, Roddick is only winning 28% of second serve points and hasn't had a single breakpoint in the match.

Go Taylor

4-2

 

[selesfan]

2 more games Taylor!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tennis Fool]

Would this be his first tournament win???

 

[selesfan]

4-3 Taylor! Hold on Taylor!

 

[selesfan]

This would be Taylor's second career win.

 

[selesfan]

Andy has 3 break points.

 

[Sjengster]

This would be his second tournament after Newport last year, where he beat Blake in the final (and he won the first set there 6-1, just like today...)

 

[Sjengster]

Dent just saved all three - now hold this game!

 

[martinatreue]

WOOHOO Taylor saved TRIPLE BREAK POINT!!!!!!

 

[martinatreue]

Dent up 6-1, 5-3.
