			Vasek and Gasquet are just underway (each won their opening service game).

			Gasquet takes the opening set in a tie-breaker (8-6 was the score).  Vasek was up 5-3 in the tie-breaker, but some errors creeped up at the worst time.

			Vasek breaks Gasquet to take a 3-2 lead in set 2.  He really has been the better player in this match.

			Vasek now up a double break serving at 5-2 in set 2.  Gasquet saving himself for the 3rd set, but he looks to be running on fumes to me.

			Vasek breaks to start set 3 - On fire at the moment. 
 
Edit:  Now up a double-break.  Questionable line call (no Hawkeye at this tourney), Gasquet forehand looked to hit the line, was called out and the umpire did not overrule.

			Vasek a service hold away from bagelling Gasquet who is noticeably limping out there now.

			That's a typical Gasquet meltdown. I know he's had a good career but that really is a talent wasted.

			Also, live rankings has Vasek at #61, but if he can claim his first title on Saturday, it will propel him inside the top 50.

			Jannik Sinner takes the opening set 6-4.  Vasek is playing well, just the early break of serve is the difference.  The young Italian kid is going to be a future top 10 player.

			Real trouble now as Sinner breaks to start set 2. 
 
Edit:  Vasek breaks back at love and didn't really do all that much.  Just a bad game from the Italian.

			We need a third set as Vasek takes set 2 6-3.  Anybody's match at this point, Sinner was playing some fantastic tennis and all of a sudden, he just lost the plot.

			Sinner takes it in the tie-breaker winning it 7-3.  Hold your head high Vasek, you played some fine tennis today (actually won more points than Sinner did in the match).
