Excellent from Liam. Hoping for a good draw now.

Solid from Liam by the looks of it. Qualifying places in the main draw are against 3 seeds and Tommy Robredo.

Where are people getting this info ? I am on the ATP site and according to that, the MD is not out yet, yesterday's qualifying results have not been put on the draw sheet, today's OoP hasn't been released yet and Liam is still 1-0* up in the opening set.

The score apps appear to have failed with the score. I went and found the live stream. Livestream.com/atp it showed it as finished. So rewatched and forwarded till the end.

What's the betting he draws Tommy Robredo, who's in the main draw with a protected ranking? The other possibiities are Lorenzo Giustino (7), Alex Bolt (5) & Juan Pablo Varillas (2).

Bob: the draws (main + doubles), if precious little else, are available on the tournament site. The ATP site is totally useless at the moment. Nothing's been updated since the qualies draws came out. furious

Liam has drawn the 7th seed Lorenzo Giustino WR 157.

Best of the options but still not easy. However, Liam has been on good form so hoping he can continue that into the MD.

That's the guy who beat Moutet in five sets, 18-16, in the fifth, at Roland garros and broke French hearts.

Maybe he's still feeling the effects smile

Good stuff from Liam.

Currently 4 points from qualifying is not a counter since his lowest coumter is 5. Hope he can up that to 11 points with a further 7 for a R1 win.
