I feel terrible, but I feel great

Todd Martin

It was the seventh time in his career that he has come back from two sets down to win a match.

Moya can not hide his frustration

Both players came into the match on their best winning streaks of the year - Moya had won nine of his last 11 matches. Martin had won seven of his last nine.

Break points were plentiful. Martin won six of 22 while Moya captured only one of 16.

The first set lasted 66 minutes as both players battled to go into the second set with the upper hand.

After four of the first five points in the tiebreaker were minibreaks, it was Martin who showed the first signs of weakness, losing his serve on errors on the seventh and 10th points to give the Spaniard a one-set lead.

As another 66-minute set went by, this time without any service breaks, Martin lost another tiebreaker.

But he allowed Moya to hold serve just once in the fifth game of the third set.

In the 12th game of the fourth set, Martin had three set points on Moya's serve, but was unable to take advantage of the Spaniard's offering.

In the fourth-set tiebreaker Moya had one match point on Martin's serve on the 11th point, but the American won the final three points to push the match into a decisive fifth set.

By that stage Moya's spirit had gone and Martin took the set 6-2.
