Quite strange choice of the officials to put that match onto Rod Laver Arena, but at the time the young American – despite being just No. 28 – was perceived by many (me included) as a new big thing, potential Grand Slam champion. He overpowered the Spaniard [66] in the last two sets after two interesting first two sets with the highlight at 3:2 (0/40) in the opener when Marin committed three double faults within the next four points, and won the game after nine deuces. Blake served 3 of his 5 aces in the last game of the match.
