3rd set TB for Jake.

Already a rather profitable morning since I put a bet on Nick to win at 50/1 when Jake was up *3-2 deuce in the third. And then cashed out when that turned into *4-5 ( SP against ) and the odds had plummeted.

So def come on Jake !

Although, probably not as good as Indy's winnings

I'll drink to that biggrin

( I did feel slightly guilty but 50/1 was very inviting and I did come out of it ).

Var · Satellite level

Well done Jake. Big match well won!

brilliant, well done Jake - good morning for the Brits!!

Djoko is ahead now, 2 sets to 1 up. Maybe Andy will make it an honorary 5 wins?!

Well pleased for Jake. Stayed focused in that third set. Good win with the crowd all for Kyrgios.

Was great to see that Jake was evidently not too disturbed by losing out on Player of the Season so close to the match. Maybe indeed he came out with an attitude of - I'll show them and 2025 will be indisputably my year

Jack and Jake both seem to me to have strong chances next round. Would be good to see them both progress.

Not expecting a win from Cam tomorrow, though

I donated my 20p to Mrs Bet365 (And she got my outsider 20p bet on Kenin too)

But obviously thrilled for Jake !!!!

(And had £10 on Jodie and £1 on Michelson so all's good here )

Michelsen beating Tsitsipas was a good call although maybe not a big upset - Tsitsipas seems to really not be progressing at slam level, rather disappointing overall over the past couple of seasons.

Upset his brother too. He was going to play doubles with his brother but pulled out to focus on Singles.
