Well done Liam. Another solid win. Let's be honest, Liam is not known for playing well in the early part of the year and normally only comes on strong later on in the season. Let's hope some form now is a grounding for Liam's strongest year to date and he can take out his CH ranking at some stage.

Only saw Liams tiebreak but a very strange moment on the first point where he served and literally just as the ball landed, an umpire on another court shouted out! which caused Liam to stand motionless. Glad he came through it, good chance to win this week.

In the words of Liam "Let's go, Come on!"
Only caught the end when the livestream appeared to fix it self but looked a comfortable win.

Excellent win, Liam having a decent week although he probably should have targeted a final this week anyway

Yeah I was wondering if the situation of not being able to go to Quimper/Cherbourg for the few weeks there might actually play into his favour with the weaker fields in SA.

I topped watching when the live stream fell out. By the time I came back to it, Liam had won.

That's 33 points this week so far although as Indi has mentioned previously, a 6 pointer will drop out of this top 18. But a net haul of 27 points (so far) is a good week. He will also go into the SF as the higher ranked player and therefore as favourite.

Don't know who Liam's foreign mates are, I'm sure he's got quite a lot, but it must be nice for him to be there with his sister, and I know he and Jodie have a lot of great banter, and there's Jack, Eden etc., who are good for some larking about. Maybe Jay too.
