And Andy came through 3 and 1, comfortable. I thought Basilashvili had withdrawn with Covid but he still seems to be positioned in draw on TNNS and other sites - anyone up to speed on what is going on?

Basilashvili is out. So Andy will maybe get a lucky loser in round 2

turns out this was referring to the ATP Cup last week and not this weeks event - Basilashvili seems to be still on and on the schedule to play Andy overnight.

Dan is on a roll at the moment, I hope he has a good draw at the Aus Open and we see him in the second week.

Is no-one following Andy this morning? There is stream of sorts on the Tennis One all but it's not great as you can't see the whole court.

Hadnt realised he was on - how is it going?

SuperT · Futures level

5-5 in the second after losing the first in the tie break. In both sets he's been a break up and has subsequently lost his serve. I haven't been watching much as the stream is not great.

And now he has managed to get the second set on the tie break. All to play for.

And an early 3rd set break for him as well, 2-0
