A question from Tony: “I wonder if Dom has been inspired by the exploits of his partner – ‘kiki’ – down in Perth? “
You would hope so! That was an inspirational performance from Kiki Mladenovic this morning, who defeated number one Ashleigh Barty and captured all three rubbers for France to seal their 3-2 win over Australia in the Fed Cup final. Even I’m inspired.
First set: Roger Federer 5-7 2-1* Dominic Thiem: Some beautiful points from both players here, with Thiem chasing down every last ball, throwing up a great defensive lob and eventually finishing the point at the net to bring up 15-30. But Federer scuppers the danger with some great serving and a loud cry of “let’s go!” A great forehand winner by Federer to seal a very good hold.
