Blake's Blazin' Backhand Puts Him Into The Quarterfinals

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Blake's Blazin BackhandRadek Stepanek of the Czech Republic had two choices today, to either hit the ball or to get out of it's way because his opponent, American James Blake, was in the zone and firing winners across the net very impressively.

Just a short while ago at the Sony Ericsson Open inBlake's Blazin Backhand Miami, Blake defeated Stepanek 6-3, 6-4 in roughly an hour and twenty minutes.

Blake was strictly business this afternoon. In his very aggressive quest to win today's match, Blake whizzed 24 winners by Stepanek and won 25 of 35 first serve points. It was truly a ball striking performance to be envied.

Stepanek may have had a game plan in mind, but ended up trying his best just to return the ball. He wasn't without a few glimpses at potentially slowing Blake down, he managed to break his serve twice. Unfortunately it was just a blip on Blake's way to taking both sets.

Blake now awaits the winner of the Rafael Nadal and Paul Henri Mathieu match.
