A strong showing yesterday, I took Adam 6-4, 6-4, in each case after being down early in the set (2-3 and 0-3, respectively). Adam says he thinks it's the first time I've ever beat him in two sets, which is exactly the kind of thing he might 1. remember and 2. dream up. But he may well be right.
The key thing was mental resilience. I kept resisting the temptation to globalize any inferences that might be drawn from an individual point. No turning points, only points.
Also, I stepped in from the baseline and took more balls out of the air around the service line rather than letting them bounce. I've observed Federer doing that pretty effectively recently on YouTube.
