Valentines Day Victory

If cupid shot as many arrows as Andy served aces this evening, love was
certainly in the air at the HP Pavilion Center in San Jose. In the debut
match in his title defense, Andy decisively defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
6-3, 6-4. Looking rejuvenated from the hectic Davis Cup weekend, Andy saw a
lot of love Tuesday night. 40 - love that is.
After attending the SAP Open’s kick-off party Monday night along side
tournament director Bill Rapp, Andy was all business against the wiley
Spaniard this evening. It did take a few games to get his bearings on center
court. Andy dropped the first service game, but immediately fought to break
Garica-Lopez and held strong to take the lead 2-1.
Garcia-Lopez, who has involuntarily acquired the nickname G-Lo, put up a good
fight, matching Andy at 3 all. G-Lo saved a few break points in the eighth
game, but Andy finally converted one, stretching his lead to 5-3. Andy
finished off the set on his serve, 6-3.
While some choose to be clever or coy on Valentines Day, both Andy and
Guillermo left little to the imagination in the second set. Garcia-Lopez
opened with a hold to which Andy easily responded. Facing some pressure in
the fourth game, Andy saved three consecutive break points to level the set
at 2 all. The two battled on, each holding to 3 a piece. Andy avoided a scare
in the eighth game, saving his serve and a few more break points. Guillermo
was unable to save break points in the following game as Andy charged to a
5-4 lead. He quickly served out the set to clinch the match 6-3, 6-4. It may
not be a box of chocolates or a dozen roses, but for a tennis fan, a “W” is
the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
