ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, The Netherlands
[CR4] Andy Murray (GBR) vs. [CR59] Vasek Pospisil (CAN)
This was a very intense match; the second set was tennis at its highest level. Murray got the early break in the first and never relinquished it, winning the set 6-3. Things looked grim in the second set when Pospisil served to even the match. Yet, the younger player ran out of gas. Pospisil will have to improve his physical conditioning if he hopes to take his game to the next level. He will also have to learn how to let go of missed opportunities and focus on the game at hand. After failing to take the second set on his serve, Pospisil lost his will, convinced that physically it was impossible, he surrendered his next service game to give Murray the opportunity to win the match in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5.
