Oh me of little faith .
I'd watched the first two sets early part of the third and just wasn't up to watching Cam go out, which was beginning to seem inevitable - so went for a walk....
Coming back to see he'd won has just made my day , toughed it out Cam , brilliant !!

Whats the Liam and a Jo Konta gripe?

Ive heard that Jo isnt popular with a few of the players having said that, quite mardy on occasion. Liams always seemed a nice lad, has a great attitude, decent morals and political view in life. The latter tend to go hand in hand I feel.

But Jo must be popular with the WTA players because she's been on the WTA players council for a number of years.

A few years back, at Nottingham, Ash Barty said in her winning speech that Jo was one of the nicest girls on the tour. ( this was after Jo had completely flipped out at the umpire earlier incidentally). But Ash genuinely seemed to have a high regard for her.

Lets just keep Jo out of the mens tennis thread, plenty of time and space elsewhere

Jack kicks off today at 3 pm on court 3 with Liam following later as 3rd match on the same court, maybe Liam will be on around 6 or 7 pm.

This has to be one of the most bizarre wild cards ever.

He is struggling to win futures matches, finds it hard to qualify for challengers, has never beaten anyone inside the top 200 and he is given a WC TO A MASTER 1000. Even a ATP 250 would be strange.

A timely reminder of why I stopped posting here.

Anyone actually watch the latter part of Cam's third set? As above Armchair watched the rest of the match.

I last saw the score at 5-1 in the third and stopped looking at my phone. It seems then that atopic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

And it might have been rather more about Cam than Nishioka? Most probably both.

Agree with the above but he's not looking a million miles away at the moment, dropped serve but broke back, 2*-3....

Even if Jack wins 6-0 6-0, we cannot read anything into this, as Kukishkin is such a strange match up, one his day his strange style can trouble top 10 players, but he can also lose to challenger mugs.

Jack seems to have a solid game, but do not really see a killer weapon? Please educate me.
