Veteran move by Granollers in Binghamton

Down a set, 5-6 and love-40 on his serve in the Binghamton Challenger doubles semifinal Saturday, Spanish veteran Marcel Granollers made a move.

He called for a medical timeout to have his shoulder massaged.

After a 5 1/2-minute break, Granollers/Granollers saved four match points and won the tiebreak, the match tiebreak – and the title the next day.

“That’s about as dirty a win as you will get,” livestream commentator Mike Cation said. “I need a shower. That’s pretty bad.”

Opponents Hans Hach and Andreas Siljestrom seemed somewhat less perturbed.

At least it was on his own serve.
