You feel Harris is the more dominant player but he doesn't always win the big points. He's had Ruud on the ropes a number of time but hasn't broken his serve yet here in the second. Be interesting to see if Ruud can hang in and nick the second set against the run of play.Stotty

This is a great example of how this sport is the toughest ask out there. Harris played pretty much perfect tennis for a couple of hours, was up a set serving at 4-4 in the 2nd set. At 15 all, 2 double faults out of nowhere, followed by a shanked forehand. Ruud then serves out the set. On to the 3rd.Last edited by stroke; 10-11-2021, 12:36 PM.

One problem with the ATP implementation, as it stands today, is that unlike RG it does NOT tell you what type of shot a given winner is. So, Zverev example here from the location, could that be an overhead instead of a regular groundstroke? Got me.
Fingers crossed that the ATP will improve its implementation. But this is progress for fans.
