Match Report (4.1.2013 ) Janko Tipsarevic vs. Go Soeda.
It was repeat of 2012 semi finals where Go Soeda was a qualifier and had made an amazing journey to the semis finals, where as for Janko it was chance for him to finally to his first ACO final. But past is past and both players were in total business.
Set 1
Go started the 1st game with 3 aces .Janko didn’t go off to a flying start as he had loss his service game.
But once Janko got into the mood there was no holding back from him, banging winners from left and corner. But Soeda committed a lot of unforced errors and 5th game he had committed 5 unforced errors to allow Janko to break again and lead the set 3-2. Janko had served with a clever and technical mind; his first serve % was high, and he able to serve 4 aces in the first set. He ended the first set with an ace. He won the set 6-2.
Set 2
Soeda in the 2nd set was way better than the first he had began the ace with a forehand converting winner and an ace. Soeda was able to play good rallies, set up the points well but was not able to just finish them off. Like in the chase of the 3rd game where he just had to flow his back for an easy winner but had tried to play it cheeky, and also where just had to do a simple volley but he tried to produce a drop volley which had failed in the end. The errors of Soeda were coming down, but Janko was producing just genius tennis making shots and Soeda had no clue what to do.
In the end Janko won the set with clean service sweep game, and advance to the semi finals.
