A sneaky little break would go down a treat now.. Come on Phillipooo!!

30-0 [Marrero is awarded two points in one.. must have been one hell of a point! Either that or the scoreboards jumpy..]
40-0 [would be a nice game to break for Morgan now..]
Game Marrero.. Seems to be settling into his service games now.. still time for one more slip up though surely

James · Satellite level

Phillips serving..

0-15 [Lets have the next one..!]
0-30 [Crap.. a couple of aces would be ideal now! Surely he has a coach who should be telling him this kind of invaluable tactical information]
15-30
15-40 [Ok, definitely need those aces.. or some big groundstrokes. Anything really..]
Game Marrero.. [bastard.]

Marrero leads 6-4 4-1

Morgan put up a fight near the end and wasn't totally demolished [very respectable considering how long he has been back from a major injury - 'injuries' really] so although he was never in a position to win he shouldn't be 'too' disappointed

Gutted. Was so hopeful. Still Marrero is higher ranked than Morgan ever was and Morgan is showing good signs on his comeback!

Gomez lost 6-0 6-3 in the end.

Hutch, Aucks and Delgado all in the doubles draw. Hutch plays with Aucks' old partner Stephen Huss, they have drawn the top seeds Christopher Kas and Rogier Wassen. Aucks and Delgado play 3rd seeds Jaroslev Levinsky and David Skoch.

Morgan did really well in the first set I think. Looks like it was one of those run-away-with-it second sets though

Good luck to the guys in the dubs. Tough draws, and on the clay so I'm not holding my breath.

Hutch up 3rd on Court 1, Aucks and Del up 4th on Centre Court, both courts start midday GMT.

Make that Aucks & Delgo in the second match on the centre court after a singles encounter which starts no earlier than 14.00 BST & Hutch & Huss in the third match on Court 1, where the first match kicks off at 10.00 BST.

Your right about the BST of course (you get into the habit of saying GMT) but the OOP on the ATP site definately says the times I said and has 'revised' at the top if the page so that looks more likely to be right.

Hutch and partner lost 6-3 6-2 :(
