What a gritty performance from Vasek, the announce team was gushing with praise and a nice ovation from the crowd in Basel as he left the court. The turning point to me was getting broke right after breaking Feds in the 3rd set. If he could have held serve to take a 4-1 lead in the 3rd set, that might have sealed the deal. His first serve let him down in the 3rd set, he needs to win easy points on that weapon.
Oh well, fantastic tennis from Vasek and his days of playing challenger tourneys should be in his rear view mirror.
