So pleased for Billy. Puts him right back towards his CH ranking. Well done.

I think if Im reading it right, Billy starts at 9 am BST? Is that correct? The TNNS app says 9 am here and 10 am local time but not sure if theyve got their times correct with the clock change?

A couple of break points for Billy right at the start - shame he put his backhand return of second serve straight out

Hugo saves three or four set points

Hugo Grenier looks like Liam Broady's doppelganger out there

Apart from the fact he's holding the racket in the wrong hand - and has a rather more sobre shirt than Liam normally goes for

Mind you, Billy cuts a very dapper figure in his rather preppy navy and white classic look

More importantly, he served out the first set in style - 6-3

Goodness gracious me. If I am this nervous in a 6-3 first set, how on earth am I going to cope if it goes to a 3rd set breaker.

Sitting in a Cafe Nero with the dog, eating a sneaky sausage ciabatta and coffee and following the scores. This would be the most remarkable result in a long time, Jubby last year in South America was close maybe.

But this would trump it. Come on Billy

Unable to watch, but sneaking a look at the score every so often.
Go Billy!!!!

MTO for Grenier. Doesn't look too serious though.

Grenier is doing very little with the ball

But by being solid it puts pressure on Billy

Who's getting a touch tighter as he gets nearer the win

Hugo leads 3-1 in the second

Yes.  Billy shouting at himself to 'hit the ball'.

Camera angle has gone wonky too.

OK Billy. Time to put that 2nd set behind you and refocus. This is there for the taking. Go get it.

Yes, this is anyone's match

Billy is hitting a bit more freely now but may well tighten up again if we get to 4-4 or whatever

Hugo, on the other hand, would like Billy to give it to him and doesn't really want to go on the offence

Grenier definitely getting a lot more cheap points on serve.  Billy has to find a way to put him under a bit of pressure.
