[Late Post] Champaign Ch R1: Mikelis Libietis/Luca Margaroli def. Johannes Seeman/Wally Thayne 6-4, 6-1 Match Stats

The first set went really neat until it all boiled down to M. Libietis/Margaroli's ability to came back from several game points down, forcing a deciding point after Margaroli's winner, took the set and set the pace for the rest of the match. Here was how everything unfolded according to the stats.

It turned out that M. Libietis/Margaroli got even more solid in the second set, in all aspects possible. They won 85% of their points from their first serves, it was that effective until Seeman/Thayne got overwhelmed in a way or another. Add that with the 4 aces, and it showed how accurate their service games were.

Even their return games were "superior" at this rate: although they converted 50% of their break points thanks to their rally control, Seeman/Thayne even did not have the room to respond any further, hence they did not have the chance to break.

M. Libietis/Margaroli will then face the first seeds Robert Galloway/Hans Hach Verdugo, who earlier defeated the Lock brothers (Benjamin Lock/Courtney John Lock) 6-2, 6-2. A tough test awaits both of them, but this surely be exciting!

Before recapping the previous match, it's time to dump some moments from the next one I watched...

An interesting local (alumni and still studying?) Illinois derby here, as Mikelis Libietis/Luca Margaroli takes on Johannes Seeman/Wally Thayne. In this case, after several years, it is also nice to see Libietis bouncing back, and doubles matches like this is a great way to restart.

Both pairs had 3 break points each in the super-tight first few nine games (they held forever) until the "pressure moment" came in the tenth game, especially where it was possible for Seeman/Thayne to convert, shall they keep the moment. However, Margaroli found a way to execute that forehand winner in a response of that volley, and their returns afterwards left no room for Seeman/Thayne to respond, thus M. Libietis/Margaroli took the first set.

The second set, judging by the flow, might have solidified their positions...
