Martin Klizan has saved a total of eight match points in consecutive matches to highlight a miraculous run the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament. But that is not what anyone will be talking about heading into Sunday’s title tilt.
In an impressive but also bizarre performance in Saturday’s semifinal showdown against Nicolas Mahut, Klizan fought back from a set and a break down and saved three match points before prevailing 6-7(3), 7-6(7), 6-2 in two hours and 46 minutes. The 43rd-ranked Slovak had previously fought off five match points in the quarters against a red-hot Roberto Bautista Agut.
Words, however, cannot accurately describe what took place in the Klizan-Mahut contest. So…enjoy.
