Today's match could have been ugly. As I mentioned before, the style match up between Phil and Mark Mazo isn't one that Phil likes. Balls that would usually be winners on hard courts, come back on clay, especially when the opponent runs everything down. Thanks to Phil's fitness regimen and weight loss, he was just as quick as his opponent today. He came away with a 6-3, 6-1 win, to move on to the semis. Tomorrow he will play Tom Smith, who Phil has beaten multiple times, but by no means is an easy match. Tom is a big hitter who swings out on every ball. It will be a battle to the end.
Phil and Armistead won their doubles match this afternoon, rather easily against a pretty decent team. They have a big challenge in the semis tomorrow against Larry Turville and Neal Newman. My money is on Phil and Armie.
