Rajeev Ram def. John-Patrick Smith
Rajeev Ram is through to the singles final after defeating John-Patrick Smith in straight sets 6-4, 7-6. The Tennis Hall of Fame caught a glimpse of his match-winner:
A player who has made his name in doubles play, Ram is making just his second final of a singles tournament. It just so happens that the other tournament was also the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in 2009, which he won.
He was able to overcome Smith's three aces, winning a little over 30 percent of first-return points, compared to Smith's 14 percent.
When Ram was serving in the first set, he was an easy favorite, overpowering Smith by winning 85 percent of his points when getting the first serve in. He was just as dominant in the second set, winning 82 percent of his first-service points.
Ivo Karlovic def. Jack Sock
Ivo Karlovic is through to the final to face Ram on Sunday after defeating Jack Sock in straight sets 7-6, 6-4.
Like his quarterfinal match on Friday, Karlovic used his fearsome serve to get by his opponent. Of the 73 points he won in his semifinal match against Sock, Karlovic recorded 14 aces.
He had to use them to battle back from a 1-4 deficit in the first set, as the Tennis Hall of Fame shows his set-winner, naturally coming off an ace:
Karlovic saved two of a possible three break points in the comeback, but the second set was not nearly as dramatic as Karlovic cruised to a 6-4 victory.
He won all 15 of his first-service points while taking 32 percent of his return points. Sock returned just 4 percent.
Nicholas Monroe, Mate Pavic def. Fabrice Martin, Purav Raja
Nicholas Monroe and Mate Pavic used a big-time comeback to make the Hall of Fame Tennis Championship doubles final over Fabrice Martin and Purav Raja:
After dropping the first set 6-4, Monroe and Pavic needed a tie-breaker in the second set just to get to the decisive third-set tie-breaker despite committing three double faults.
They managed to jump out in front in the third set and never look back, winning 10-6, as the Tennis Hall of Fame shows their match-winner.
It was their ability to win points on their first service that put them over the top. Of their 43 first-serve opportunities, Monroe and Pavic won 35 of them for an 81 percent mark.
They will take on Jonathan Marray and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi in the final on Sunday, as the final match of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championship. All the action from Newport will start at 2 p.m., as Monroe and Pavic look to win their first-ever title as a doubles team.
