The BAD news first. I lost Del Potro UNDER 20 games. That 1st Set Delpo won 7-5, then 6-3 in the 2nd Set. I honestly thought it would be a 6-2, 6-3 type of match. That 1st Set did us in for the loss. But that's alright.
But........
On to the GREAT news! I have been waiting for a situation like this all tourney long, in all 3 tourneys, and the last match of the night in Los Cabos, Mexico provided my biggest play this far.....
I figured there is no way Fognini is going away in 2 sets like a chump. I slammed the LIVE OVER because I still feel as if Fog had a chance to win this match. It goes exactly as predicted, but it was scary. Halys went up 2-0 in the 2nd Set. Fog storms back and breaks Halys on the fifth game....that did him in. Fog goes on to win the 2nd set (6-4). From there both OVERS were a lock, and then Fog DOMINATES and wins the 3rd Set (6-0). OVERS and the +225 ML are both monster winners!

Halys beats Fognini 6-2 in the 1st Set.
- Fognini is ranked #2 OVERALL in this tourney (Delpo is #1).
- You have a young 21 year old kid facing a scrappy 31 year old veteran.
