2 bps for Fish

Only needs one

1-6 1-2*

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

Poor game there..

steven · Tennis legend

Fish holds to 30.

1-6 *1-3

steven · Tennis legend

40-0, could we have a love hold for James?

No, back to deuce then a weak b/h from James gives Fish yet another bp

Saved, game point, deuce, another bp - first serve deserting him again now.

Amazing get from Ward to stay in the rally but eventually a Fish smash makes the break.

1-6 1-4*

Flemski lost the 1st set 6-3; Hutch *2-2

DF then another UE for Fish and it's 0-30.

Is James going to regret not breaking in game 2 and/or not holding from 40-0 up in the last game?

steven · Tennis legend

30-30 but another Fish DF gives James another bp.

2nd serve which Fish rushes in behind ... eventually saves the bp, but now James has another one.

2nd serve again, good return, wide from Fish and James has a break

1-6 *2-4

steven · Tennis legend

Quickly 0-30 but gets it back to 30-30, 40-30, deuce, another weak b/h bp, saved with ace no. 3, Fish puts pressure on another 2nd serve - bp again, saved, bp again, wild follow-up and it's 1-6 2-5*

Hutch/Kerr broke for *4-2 after a df on bp but then hand back the break with a df of their own on bp, so 4-3* and Flemski have broken for 3-6 *2-0 ... no they've been broken straight back too

steven · Tennis legend

Fish serving for the match starts with a DF 0-15

15-15 ... ace 30-15 ... unreturned 40-15, 2 MPs ... 2nd serve ... saved one ... but not the 2nd.

Fish wins 1 & 2

That's me done, if anyone fancies covering the dubs for those who are currently fast asleep!

Thats a shame.

Didn't expect James to win but hoped it would be closer than that.

"How about another round of applause for John Ward" ...

RJA · Hall of fame

Flemski now a break down in set 2.

Hutch/Kerr broke again to lead 5-3 but were again broken straight back
