Carreno Busta has a really sad look on his face as he drops another point on his serve, like a little puppy that's just been kicked.
His expression changes for the good when he stretches far and wide to grab an excellent drop shot to hold.
He needed that.

To deuce...

Incredible play from Kevin Anderson. He could sense with that double fault from Pablo Carreno Busta that the Spaniard's nerves were starting to jangle and did a good job of stepping in and taking the initiative.
It is so evenly matched with a good contrast of styles, it has developed into a real battle.
Two nations divided by a common language - and tennis commentary mediums it appears.
The New York Times have been up to take a look at the BBC Radio 5 live commentators at work on Arthur Ashe, because tennis on the radio is pretty much an alien concept stateside.
"Tennis would appear to be inherently ill suited to radio, both overly busy and potentially as soporific, in terms of narration, as something like the shipping news," it reports., external
"Freed from the strictures of television, in which announcers cannot speak while points are being played and also have to pause for commercial breaks, the tennis presenters can expand, digress, opine, produce verbal mini-essays and wander off on British-style bantering tangents."
Banter Broadcasting Corporation. Am I right?

Kevin Anderson is the type of player who probably feels he should be overpowering Pablo Carreno Busta, but finds that he can't because of the Spaniard's excellent anticipation and defence.
That can be frustrating and could push him to make mistakes.

Kevin Anderson is hosting his own mini pep rally. When he wins a point, he gets a fist pump and a scream of 'come on'.
The small victories are muted for a while in this game, as Carreno Busta eats away on his serve.
But Anderson let's out a big shake and shout when he holds with a mammoth forehand into the corner.

Pablo Carreno Busta's defensive play is so solid, he is perfectly balanced as he moves around at the back of the court.
