I say this all the time, but it is the case. These guys are so big and strong.
I mean, you've got to try and get on the front foot.
Oh, it's a shame.
Fabulous point, just couldn't apply the finish.
It's a little loose from Vucevic.
That intensity we saw to close out the match against Taylor-Fritz yesterday,
just not there at the moment.
Hence, a little heavy-handed with the drop to your foot.
Easy pickings in the end for Vucevic.
Delicately played, isn't it?
From that position, you've got to do something.
Harvard's career just about in front of him.
Nicely played.
Just that back end, so accurately.
As soon as he saw it, he realised TfL's only really option was going to be just to play this.
Oh, yes.
Now producing shots like that in an ATP Tour semi-final.
Really, really sharp.
He's in trouble there.
He's pushed back.
And that's the difference, as I was saying, with the forehand.
Second serve gets it done.
As Francis Thierbaut gets it done in the opening set.
Oh, it's a lovely volley.
Under pressure too, but comes up with the goods.
That's a beauty.
Vucevic must have thought he...
Oh, yes.
Once again, it's a front-court game coming to the fore.
What a great volley.
Good on any surface, but particularly...
Finally gets through the game.
Doesn't play too many points like that, but another good one to Jip.
Did a good job getting the return back there, Vucevic, because it gripped the line.
Oh, yes.
Well, it was an improvised return and actually worked out pretty well.
Space there.
Maybe Thierbaut just moved a little too soon.
Either way, nicely controlled by Vucevic into the corner.
Action from both players too.
Oh, yes.
Another great touch.
Been really good up at the net.
I'm sure that's one of the things.
Nicely.
You have to love everything about that point from Vucevic.
Applying the pressure.
It's brilliantly done.
No panic from the third seed.
Brings this Stuttgart crowd to life.
Well, it was certainly made to work a little harder.
It's terrific stuff from Vucevic.
A lot of first serves.
Will be a set point.
Taking the ball by the horns.
Oh, would you believe it?
Got to give Thierbaut credit.
Francis Thierbaut is in the final.
A quite extraordinary second set tiebreaker where he saved six set points.
You have to feel for Vucevic.
Who had so many opportunities to take his two at a side.
Nice sportsmanship from the Hungarian, who's had a great tournament.
But is the American who moves through to his first ever grass court final.
His seventh ATP Tour final.
And played the bigger points.
