Inspired Murray Battles Through Roger

It was a match worthy for a Semi final , Murray comes into the Semis without loosing a set , nor his serve . 
Federer who a beaten Tsongo in a 5 set encounter against Jo was up and ready for the task set against him . 
Murray led the stand off head record 10-9  . Murray at the end edge out Federer in 5 sets winning the Swiss 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-7 6-2 .

Set 1 
Both players had easy starts on their service games , but Federer serve was at question at the very beginning of the match his first serve % was very low . Murray broke Federer's serve in the 3rd game by producing one the most amazing forehand cross winners a person could see .Murray was serving big , really big .
It was a whole new Murray we got to see from 2012 , his off-season preparation seems to have paid of .
His athelitism was really a sight to see , the way he was moving on the court was tremendous .Murray served out the set with an ace and a huge forehand .

Set 2 
It was easy service going for Andy Murray , who seem to never struggle in his service , aces from bursting fro m Murray , Federer's service was still not working to its potential  , he struggled in almost all of his service games  , but he was able to stay on course of the match . 
Andy Murray showed brilliance in Game 08 , 09 and 10   , his forehand winners were really amazing to watch  and his back hand winner in game 11 was an outstanding sight to watch.   
It was down  to the tie breaker , and it was a never racking contest . 
This where every one would thought that Andy would steam roll Roger , but his service which helped in all points of the match was missing  and it was Rogers serve was doing the talking a forced forehand error sealed the the tie breaker for Roger 

Set 3. 
There was a BIG difference of speed between Murray's first serve and 2nd serve and Federer return of on 2nd serve affected Andy Murray a lot.
In the 6th game of the 3rd set  , Andy started to make his move hitting sublime tennis shots to make to pressure roger , a forehand and a backhand error allowed Murray to break Roger .
After that is was a straight fast moving train on Murray;s serve .
He served a huge 207 km / Hr .
Sealed the 3rd set with a score 6-3 

Set 4
Federer serve was at question the entire match , and the first game of the 4th set was no different , but the Swiss is a champion and proved so why hitting 3 forehand winners to come out of  a chance to be broke again. 
Andy Murray service continue to stay strong , his forehand cross and off was going strong , after his 1st service game closed he accumulated 13 forehand winners . 
The 4th game of the set , where things completely changed , couple of backhand errors allowed Roger to get the break . Roger went to lead 4-1 , But Andy didn't let Roger to run of the break , immediately breaking the Swiss in his next service game . 
The quality of tennis improved as the match went on and on  , Game 8  and 9 were most intense were both players peaked to their best of forms  , hitting winners here and there . 
Murray broke Federer in 11th game and had the chance to serve for the match . All seemed lost to Roger's Fan at Rod Laver Area . But the Swiss produced one of the most best every single hand backhand down the line winner and broke back to stay alive in the match . 
Like how Murray's First didnt work in the tie breaker in the 2nd set , it didn't work here as well Roger winning the tie breaking and the set . 

Set 5 
Having made an amazing comeback into the match , Roger Federer wasnt able to sustain that motivation he had in the end of the 4th set to bring it to the final set of the match . 

Heavy hitting from Murray gave him a 3-0 lead after 12 minutes of play in the fifth set. Federer, who had framed a backhand at 30/40 in the second game, was not allowed to get a foothold in the set. Murray’s ace count continued to rise and his ability to strike pin-point groundstroke winners from the baseline extinguished any chance Federer had of reaching his 25th Grand Slam championship final. 

 Andy Murray will try to become the only first-time Grand Slam winner to immediately claim a second major at the next opportunity.

Tremendous Tipsarevic wins Aco 2013

It was finally a match of high standards , a match where it was winners which decided the wins of the games than errors  .
Janko Tipsarevic finally won his first Aircel Chennai open title after coming to chennai 6 times .
After coming up runner in 2012's edition , Janko's chances to win the title this year hit a bump as Roberto Bautista Agut took out the first set , but Janko didnt allow the loss of the first set to distract him.He dug within and came as the winner , he wont the match 3-6 6-1 6-3.
Set 1 
 It was Agut's first ever Atp final appearance  , one would have thought he would be having match nerves , we were obviously wrong .He shows no match at all breaking Janko serve at the 2nd game it self with 2 forehand down the line and one forehand return winner shot . 
Janko wasnt making any unforced errors , very rarely did we any . It was Agut's aggression which allowed him to strive forward . Janko in the end of the first set showed why he was a top 10 player , but it was a bit to late as Agut went to win the first set 6-3 which 3 amazing points , those were a forehand down the line winner ,  Forehand drop volley and an ace. 

Set 2 
Janko raced to a 5-0 lead in the 2nd set courtesy of unforced errors from Agut . Janko was serving more firmly,  more tightly, more better .Agut's aggression and consistency was lost all of a sudden .In the 6th game of the set , it was looking like that the set would be heading for a 6-0 score , but Agut struggled alot , he made alot of errors , but a backhand passing winner and a backhand down the line changed things suddenly .
Agut's lower stomach seemed to have a problem  , that would explain why his first serve speed reduced dragstically.
Janko didnt serve out the set as well as he wanted to , producing numerous errors wasnt the things we saw earlier on , but a a jab down the line backhand sealed him the set , winning it 6-1 .

Set 3
Agut's serve was a problem that he had to deal from the starting of the 2nd set , and but the starting of the set 3 he was able to produce an ace on the 2nd serve . Both players were playing some seriously outstanding tennis , there were alot of winner exchange between Agut and Janko.
But one stage or the other some player had to take the step and Janko was the one who did da , clusters of errors from Agut allowed him to break him in the 3rd game .
The 7th game of this set was the highlight was the whole match .
Brilliant volleying from Janko , Agut getting alot of footfault calls , receiving time violations  , hitting winners on both his forehand and backhand . In the end Janko pulled it off , and managed to him his first ever Aircel chennai open .

 The quotes from some people .
Tom ( the director of the Aco ) "Vanakam Chennai ,. i really must say i m really amazed ,this is my first time coming to Chennai and the reputation i have gotten and stood up to its highest remarks 
Allagapon "Both the players player incredible tennis throughout the whole week i d like to congratulate both of them  , and to the crowd you have been getting speculation wether this tournament will continue or not ? well i have some good news . The Tnta has brought up a contract with Img and will continue for the next 3 years . 
Janko "I was mentally stable and was not worried when I was one set down," said Tipsarevic. "I didn’t play my best tennis in every match this week, but I am happy to win the title. I really wanted to win this tournament as it is my sixth time here.

“This match was pretty similar to my semi-final win over Aljaz Bedene. I was too passive in the first set and I was relying on Roberto making mistakes in his first ATP World Tour final. I was hoping he would be anxious. I gave him too much time to swing on his forehand. The only way I won, was to step closer to the baseline and I needed to move him around. Physically, as the match wore, on he became tired.

Agut “I was serving really well and playing my best tennis against Janko in the first set, but then I couldn’t keep it up throughout the match," said Bautista Agut. “I improved a lot last year and won a lot of matches, which gave me confidence and experience. I worked hard in the pre-season, with a lot of motivation, and did well this week.

Aircel Chennai Open (Day 5) (4.1.13)
Match Report 
Marin Cilic vs. Benoit Paire
It wasn’t a match full of great shot making, Marin Cilic the crowd favorite had been defeated by Benoit Paire .These two have never met before and it was their first meeting . 
Both players were never at their game , only a few minutes , maybe 15 , both players were playing the game they were supposed to be playing with .At the end Paire was able to edge out Cilic from the match with a score of 6-4 1-6 7-5 .

Set 1.
Cilic never at all looked best at all, he showed the same poor performance from the previous match, cluster of enforced errors allowed Paire to break in the 3rd game .Paire was clocking his first service at 205 km an hour, but even though serving at such a fast speed he lost his serve and break of serve advantage in the 6th game. Cilic looked tired in the humid conditions but once the sun set Cilic started to play a bit better. It was like a you break my serve and I ll break yours, Paire broke Cilic’s serve in the next game (7) with brilliant return winners. In the end, even though Cilic was able to hit a couple of winners his unforced errors gave Paire the first set 6-4.

Set 2.
Cilic wasn’t read to give it up, he wanted to prove why he had won this title 2 times already. He broke Paire straight away in the 2nd game. His service however was a big question mark we aren’t able to see those strong serves which wins him matches.
The 6th game was most interesting game of the mall , Paire who had 2 success with the drop shot was persistent to keep on trying it , but he was doing one to many times and his backhand was starting to be inconsistent and his composure level started to dip .
Cilic out the set with 2 aces which we finally got to witness, he won the set 6-1

After coming back so strong in the match Cilic continued his good momentum into the 3rd set, breaking Paire serve right away. But Cilic couldn’t sustain his consistent performance , Paire had produced 2 amazing scintillating backhand return winners to break back .It was after this where Cilic and Paire played really good tennis , when Cilic hit a down the line winner , Paire replied with an even stronger down the line winner .
Paire in the 8th game was really terrible he had the chance to break, but instead he’d settle with 3 continuous forehand unforced errors. Game 10 is crucial game for Cilic, but he was calm under pressure serving 2 aces. But could Cilic play with pressure?
no he wasn’t able to hitting unforced errors means that you cant win points , it means you give a away points , those 2 forehand and 1 backhand errors cost him the game and the match .
Paire had ousted the 3rd seed and played well to earn it !

I enjoy playing here” – Marin Cilic

These players feel chennai is great place to place tennis 
Hope that chennai open will continue for the next 5 years 
Hope Aita and Tnta can together find a new sponser or make aircel renew its sponsership ~!

The Rise and The Decline .

Today is the final of the Aircel chennai open 2013 !
This year honestly hasnt provided the best of tennis , its been a poor weak of tennis to be actually truthful.
Many stars rose and the actual stars declined .
The rising stars include : Prakash Amritraj ,Bautista Agut,Benoit Parie and Ajax Benede .
The Declining stars are :Marin , Stan and Berdych .
What also worries me is that this is the last year of the contract between the Tnta and Aircel , there hasnt been any information wether that chennai open will continue after this year .

Its Janko vs Agut in the Aco 2013 final !
Congrats to both of them for coming to the final 
Will Janko finally have the crown of the aco or will the dark horse Agut stop him ? 
Tune in tomorrow after the final to get the match report 
Good night :)
