Well, I had the livescore up and totally forgot what country I was in so didn't realize it'd be on telly. Some habits die hard. So my hosts put the telly on and et voila! There was my Frankie. 4-4 in the second set. Was disappointed he didn't win the tiebreak because he could have but very happy he made the final.



This was only his second ATP final - the first time he was beaten by Dima as well. Was very exciting to tell my hosts and their friends that Frankie comes from my area and is a member of my tennis club.
