Yes the cupboard in indeed bare as Indiana says. Liam is our best chance of making the top 100 in the next couple of years. Shame to see him retire but he should never have had the MDWC in the first place in my opinion.

 Just started. 1-0* and 40-30

Great start by Liam.

He hasn't played a lot of matches lately and the physicality of this level isn't something he's used to either. I think there's cause for optimism.

He's played a heap more matches than many of our men. 

He played 6 in February and 3 before this event in March.

That's more than his opponent did. And more than quite a lot of players. 

And I don't think the physicality is much different if you're only talking about two-thirds of one set.

However, I'm not saying not to be optimistic - he's 19 - there's a lot of time and space for his career to develop. 

 

I know it sounds a bit churlish but Liam was a bit of a wombat to lose that first set - just a couple of sloppy points when it mattered.

BUT he really deserves to get the second, played tough, and hard. Good tennis.

Think they might be getting a bit tired, the two of them?

Liam 1 set all after 2 hours and both players look dead on their feet.

 Yeah. Think Kec. will start to swing a bit more. Don't think he wants to play the long points.
