RE: Week 5 - Great Britain F3 ($10,000) - Sheffield (Hard)

Spectator · All-time great

On serve 2-3 (via same Twitter feed!) with Mr Corrie serving second.

Now 3-4 after two breaks, one from either player.

Cant find a livescore or result for this. Any word?

Just found out (from a RT) that Miles Bugby is 'live-tweeting' it - Ed has recovered from a set down to take it into a 3rd.

4-6 6-2 *2-3

Reeltime · Satellite level

OK, managed to find via twitter that it's 1 set all. Ed took the 2nd set 6-2

Miles: "It's not a break till you hold. EC got broke to go 2-4 down but broke straight back to go 3-4."

steven · Tennis legend

"It's not a break till you hold once again. Harrison served for it at 5-3. Good game from EC now 4-5"

Breaks galore - Ed had better hold this time though because he won't get another chance to break back!

Miles: EC serving to stay in it 5-6 final set

And Mr Bugby tweets that it's 3-3 change of ends, with Mr Corrie serving. Sounds like a terrific match.

3-3 change ends of breaker EC serving.

FINAL: Ed Corrie WR 522 lost to Christian Harrison (USA) WR 479 by 6-4 2-6 7-6(5)

steven · Tennis legend

Not quite a Groundhog Week to celebrate Groundhog Day in the US, but so close - both weeks Ed won the first four rounds in straight sets then went a set down to Harrison in the Final but recovered to force a decider.

He will rise over the next two Mondays to a new career high at about WR 430.

Shame, but a great couple of weeks for Ed

So they split the series. At least Mr Harrison should be heading home with a healthy respect for Mr Corrie! Well played to both, and one hopes a harbinger of good things to come. Nice little piece on the duo on the ITF pages, also, by the way.
