Albot and Jo showing as delayed - is there a problem ?
The match is actually under way on the Red Button & Jo has just broken Albot to lead by *4-2.
Make that 5-2*...

After an 11-minute break caused by a spot of light drizzle, but only on the Stadium Court, Jo takes the first set by 6-3, despite a double fault on his first set point. smile

Toby misses out 6-4 in the 3rd. Intentionally or not, these people are really teasing me, aren't they.

I haven't seen JoMo before and am loving watching him this morning. He has a great leftie serve. The commentators were just discussing how many British lefties there are but completely forgot about Liam. What do they pay these people for?

The second set proving much harder work than the first. Tie break!

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Albot takes the tie break. It's down to a third set. Good match this.

JoMo has so much potential but needs a weapon beyond his serve. Watched the last hour of this match and haven't seen a winner from him...

Both close, but no cigars. Charlie Broom, meanwhile, is getting beaten comfortably by Novak and Billy is hanging in there versus Gaston

Meanwhile, on Court 14, Billy has staged a bit of a comeback: he's taken the second set to a tie-break.

Billy takes the tie-break by 7-5 & levels the match.

Billy is going to put me through the wringer again, isn't he.

1 set all. Game on.
