    Points won by each set: | 40-37, 54-42, 29-34, 34-24 |
    Points won directly behind the serve:
    25 % Stepanek – 34 of 136
    22 % Almagro – 36 of 158

    The match lasted 3 hours 51 minutes. Almagro led 4:2* in the 2nd set, then saved four set points in two different games. Stepanek began the crucial tie-break with a slightly bleeding knee (stumbled at the net winning the opening point of the tie-break). My broader description.
