Phil won his match today 6-1, 6-1, but according to Phil, it played more like a 6-4, 6-4 match. Close games with a big hitting lefty, and fortunately Phil won the big points. He said he played really well today, except for having the yips on his serve. Although his first serve percentage was low, he managed to hold serve the entire match. That speaks volumes for how well he is playing right now.
Finals are played tomorrow. His opponent has a different playing style than the big hitter he had today. Joe is a steady baseliner, but I think Phil can mix it up enough with serving and volleying, drops shots and penetrating groundstrokes. I'll be eagerly awaiting his phone call with the results!
