“I really enjoy it here,” Andy noted after the match as he now moves on to Round 2 after defeating Paraguay’s Ramon Delgado 6-3, 7-6(4). Though both sets boasted Andy earning the first break, Delgado getting one back, then Andy taking the lead, the second kept you on the edge of your seat until the last point.

Andy opened with a 139 mph serve. From the get-go, he was unleashing his forehand. Delgado quickly picked up on it and played mostly to his backhand. Andy’s first double fault gave away the first break, 2-1, though Andy immediately broke back and broke Delgado’s next two service games to serve. Holding one more game a piece, Andy served out the set. In 37 minutes, Andy seemed to be smooth sailing into the second.

“It was a mental error, I played sloppy after the break,” Andy admitted to losing two match points. His serving weapon earning him 16 aces turned into his brick wall when he double faulted at 5-4 with the match on the line. Delgado used Andy’s frustration to his advantage, and capitalized by breaking back to even the score at 5-all. Andy, however, was not going quietly into the warm DC night and cranked it up a notch to hold to 6 all for the all-powerful tie-breaker.

Not only did Andy’s first serves “click” again, but so did his offense and they earned him two match points on his racquet(球拍). And just like that, “click” – a 137mph lightening ace down the T to Delgado’s backhand slammed into the back wall to chime that the Paraguayan’s time is up.

“I’m going to bear down mentally from here on out.” Andy now moves into the second round to face Eduardo Schwank of Argentina on Thursday in Washington D.C. Stay tuned to AR.com for a look at his next opponent and what’s still to come. Go Andy!

“我真的非常享受如此一般的比賽”Andy在以6-3,7-6(4)的比分打敗Paraguay’s Ramon Delgado且挺進第二輪後如此說。因為兩盤中Andy都贏了第一個破發,Delgado在Andy領先時也回敬了一個,但Andy還是持續領先,而第二盤就這樣僵持不下直到盤末點。

Andy在這場比賽中發出了139mp/h(英里)=223.699km/h的發球,他的正手在那之後就沒有束縛放開來打。Delgado迅速的跟上它的節奏且盡量把球打向他反手。Andy的第一個雙發失誤也順道送了對手第一個破發，但Andy緊接著破了回來而且也包括了Delgado的接下來兩個發球局。Holding住比賽的這部分後,Andy以發球結束了這盤,第一盤前後只花了37分鐘,且平順的進入第二盤。

“那是個精神上的失誤,我在破發後打的太懶散了”Andy承認自己loss掉兩個賽末點。他以發球這優勢替他贏得了16個aces使局勢轉變成牢不可破,但又因雙誤又使比賽回歸勢均力敵。Delgado利用Andy稍挫敗的氣勢乘勝追擊,且利用破發使比分回到5平。Andy無論如何他並不是低調的來到這熱情的DC夜,但還是勉強的使比數來到6平且進入高張力的tie-break。不只Andy的第一發再度”click”而且他也用他的球拍為他自己贏得兩個賽點。就如同”click”般,一個137mp/h 的閃電ace發在Delgado反手拍 T 的位置且猛然的撞擊後牆,比賽就這樣結束了。

“我是帶著不可出局的精神上壓力來此”Andy將晉級進第二輪且他將在Thursday遇到來自Argentina的Eduardo Schwank。Go Go Andy!!
