Using all nine lives
James Blake may have nine lives in the Indianapolis Tennis Championship. The defending champion has looked less than brilliant in his quest to repeat last year’s victory. Today Blake struggled against South Korean Jun Woong-sun. In the first set Jame couldn’t find his pace and was broken early. Eventually he found his rhythm and took the set 6-3. Blake came away with the second set by the skin of his neck. Jun Woong-sun had two set points against Blake before he finally put it to rest winning 7-5. This isn’t the first game Blake has had trouble with in the tournament. In an earlier match against Dudi Sela, Blake got off to a rocky start almost losing the opening set but eventually winning the set 7-6 before cruising to a victory in the second set 6-2. Jame must be part feline to have made it this far. Blake has not been the ball chasing, rally winning, shot maker that we are used to from Blake this tournament. I am not sure what the problem is but Jame needs to figure it out soon before he doesn’t have a chance to warm up. Next up for James is Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan. If he hopes to take out the swift player Blake will need all his tricks.
