Groth hitting his serves well so far. Rest of his game is so-so. Fed needs to up his level and avoid going to tie breaks.

 

[Hs0022]

Good serve and volley from Fed, mix it up. The camera seems to zero in on edberg's face every time fed misses a volley. Great passing shot down the lane by Fed from his backhand.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed needs to put the returns in and get into longer rallies with Groth and he will get his break. 0-30 and 0-40 after a lob from Fed hit the line. Let's get the break.
15-40 Groth hits long and it's a break for Fed. 4-3 Fed to serve.

 

[Hs0022]

Groth's return is terrible. 40-15 and a hold for Fed. 5-3.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed just hit a passing shot return winner on a 142 mph.

 

[Hs0022]

5-4 Fed to serve and close out the first set against HellBoy.

6-4 30-15 Groth serving first in second set .

 

[Hs0022]

Groth having trouble with shoelace half volleys like any other mere mortal 30-40 break point.
Wow monster second serve from Groth! Deuce

Ad Fed.

Groth is more vulnerable than a baby in a crib at the net . Fed gets the early break. Should be a quick night!

 

[Hs0022]

Good lob from Groth. 15-30.
Bad volley at the net by Fed. 15-40.

Fed's first serve percentage dropping. Groth breaks back.
1-1

This kid Groth playing Fed tough

 

[bksballer89]

Nerves got the best of him

 

[Hs0022]

Had to step away but returned to find Fed serving for the set at 5-4. Interesting point at 15-0
Game and set points. 40-0

6-4,6-4.

 

[Hs0022]

Third set is a matter of time and could be quicker scoreline wise.

 

[bksballer89]

Hanging in there still. What rank is this kid?

 

[Hs0022]

2-2 15all Groth serving.his ranking is 104 I think.

 

[Hs0022]

Groth breaks Fed! Fed trying to get it back. 15-30

 

[bksballer89]

Please don't allow Fed to break back here

 

[Hs0022]

30-30. This set goes to Groth I think. Fed had a lapse.

 

[Hs0022]

Groth is playing nice attacking tennis on his service game. 40-30. Deuce.

This dude can serve and volley and has loosened up.
Ad Groth.
