Welcome to the FTTV coverage of the SRUFT as we provide this free coverage of the match between debutant ag and well placed, in-form, Niru. Looks like it should be a bit of a one-sided match but you never know in the unpredictable world of FT. Now we go down courtside to our reporter, Hen Daman.
Thanks guys, ag has come out all guns blazing as Niru can't work out what is happening. This 5 set match has had a huge twist in only the first set as the debutant ag6858 takes the first set 6-1.
Much of the same has occurred in the second set as the whole FT world has been rocked on it's head. Niru, who is in great form, is struggling against a newbie with a good game. Ag is just smashing winners all around the court and Niru just can't get a racquet on it. Game and second set to ag6858, 6-2.
Niru has put up a bit more of a fight, keeping it deep to the backhand of ag, taken away the killer forehand and eliminating as many winners against him as possible. Nullifying it is working as Niru goes up 4-3 on serve. But ag holds his nerve and takes the game to make it 4-4. Niru has all of a sudden stopped going with the successful game plan as the nerves start kicking in that he is only 2 games away from losing this match. Ag steps up to the plate and hits a huge forehand winner to break Niru and take a 5-4 lead. He lets out a big "C'mon!" The next game goes for a while but after a few deuces, ag wraps it up. Ag6858 wins the third set and the match, 6-4!
Wow. I am almost speechless. Ag has pulled off the biggest upset of the first month of FT. He has defeated Niru in a convincing match after we all thought the in-form Niru would just blitz him! That is enough from us here at FTTV and we will keep you up to date when we see you next!
Final score: Ag6858 def. Niru 6-1, 6-2, 6-4
Match time: 2 hours 44 minutes
