Great effort from Liam at that level. Shame it got away from him in the end.

How on earth did he manage to turn that one round?  The Japanese served for it at 5-2 in the third!

L64:  (9) Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) WR 16 (CH = 3 in November 2017) vs Cameron Norrie WR 56

L96:  Miomir Kecmanovic (SRB) WR 46 defeated (Q) Liam Broady WR 158 by 7-5 5-7(5) 6-1 

Good match to watch although it ran away from Liam at the end. Was impressed with Liam gutsing it out to take the 2nd set but the effort of doing that probably drained him of energy.

Good week though and overall some more positives to take away - maybe even edging a new CH?

 Hes at 152, live, ahead of CH of 154.  Hugo Gaston is still in Miami behind him and Safiullin is in but needs a few wins in Lille. Should be ok for new CH.

 Some relevant players may be competing in challengers next week that will also count towards the 05/04 rankings. But yes apparently live 152 for now.

Fair play to Jack here, he has atleast made a match of it. I expected him to be off the court in an hour

 He already looks like has has done 12 rounds with Mike Tyson, how hot is it? 

---

 He's having his blood pressure taken etc. - yeah, he's obviously not feeling great - the temperature is only about 27 degrees there, although reasonably humid. 

---

 Unusual for it to be humid in March, it's actually the best time to go to South Florida

 

Hmm I've looked at temp and humidity in Miami today and while it's not optimum I have to say if that kind of heat affects him like it looks like it did today his career is going nowhere.  It's possible that there is an issue with the courts as they are inland somewhat whereas Crandon is right on the water but still a 19 year old should be able to manage in the conditions in S.Fla right now.

 Yes, I agree. It sounds like he's maybe got a virus or something; hard to believe that you'd be really suffering in those conditions, after not even one set, if you're A1 fine

---

 on commentary, Annabel Croft mentioned that he had had Covid after Andy had it so presumably that means mid/late Jan. So that may have had an impact on his physical well being and help explain his lack of any decent form recently. Having said that and if he was not physically at his best why would he have accepted the wildcard.

---

 I suppose he thought it was too good an opportunity to turn down.

$10k and 10 points may have had some influence !

 Well the $$$$ anyway. No points for a MD WC R1 loser. Though of course plenty points if he could have somehow fashioned a win or two.
