Currently, Blake down the first set after getting broken twice. Blake serving to start the second, score is 6:2 0:0. A few costly errors in the beginning by Blake found Benneteau up 3:0 who cruised in the next 5 games, holding serve three times to take the set. Seems Blake is starting to turn up the heat, though.
Blake holds and the score is 6:2 0:1. Serve and volley at 40:30 by Benneteau puts enough pressure on Blake who isn't able to come up with the passing shot. A net approach by Benneteau works out as it forces the error from Blake. Blake's strokes and his mental game are very quickly breaking down, as two more errors gives Benneteau the break at love. Benneteau serving at 2:1, but Blake looking to get back in at 15:30. Quickly to 30:40 though, and Blake seeing an opening to get back into this set. Another unforced forehand error from Blake, and a nice ace down the line from Benneteau gives Benneteau a game point. Blake sees some room down the line after a medium length rally, but isn't able to make the forehand shot as he pushes it wide.
Blake serving at 1:3, starts off rocky with a double fault and a forehand pushed long. Benneteau isn't having too do that much besides keep the ball back in play until Blake makes an error. Blake, however, won't be put away that easily and comes up with two HUGE aces to bring it back to 30:30. An uncharacteristic backhand error from Benneteau gives Blake a chance to hold at 40:30, and he succeeds as Benneteau is unable to put an out-wide second serve from Blake back in play.
Benneteau serving at 3:2 in the second. Blake is able to bring it to a second deuce after an unforced error. Commentators have it dead on, though, as Blake pushes another second serve long: Blake is going for the one-hit-wonder shot and not giving Benneteau a chance to make an error. Third deuce after a winner from Blake, and a forehand pushed wide by Benneteau gives Blake a break point, and Blake does it. Blake places, rather than rips, a backhand down the line to force the error from Benneteau. 3 games all, and Blake with an ace to start his service game.
I'm kinda done with naratting though, looks like no one is really reading.
