No way Andy wins from here sadly. His legs have gone.

Superb win for Liam though.

Jay just lost a 3rd st breaker to go 2-1 down. Pity because he was a break up in that 3rd set.

My friends were on court ! today and thoroughly enjoyed the match.  So did I, to be honest. Tiafoe is such fun to watch but Tsitsipas seemed completely subdued right the way through.


 He just lost the FO final and his grandmother and played no warm up tournament.

Liam's match was such a pleasure. Really good grass court tennis match.

Cech effectively threw in the towel at the start of the third - he's known for it, and made no bones about it.

But Liam looked SO fit, and composed, and sure of what he was doing. He really pushed Cech into it.

Jay's match is like watching clay court tennis on a grass court - not my favourite. Couldn't watch for very long. But good luck to him in the fourth.

And Andy? Well, for people who like to label players as 'chokers', this just shows that anyone can do it.

But he'll fight to the end, if he can.

 Many factors went into that loss (lots of trauma on the same day of the French final, so he's probably still processing) plus Tiafoe is very talented - and pretty good on grass

My nerves were in shreds after that third set!  Not much better in the fourth!  Kyle in the crowd.
