Live scoreboard seems to have disappeared but Stuart reports on twitter that Ryderstedt has broken for 6-5 and is serving for the match

Saved, but now Ryderstedt has another one ...

Ah pity after starting so well.  I really thought Jamie was going to be the one Brit today to beat a higher ranked opponent.  Alas 

Out of interest, belatedly, where was the live score ?


Edit :  then again I just read in the women's section that Danieka Borthwick is one set all in her match.  Now that would be a good win if...

Stu tweet that Baker pulled a stomach muscle during the match and has pulled out of next week's futures in Turkey :(

Darn     I wonder when he did that.  He started so well and still competed very closely to the end.

A disappointing day for the men indeed. Evo played very well against Sidorenko, but his more agressive play meant more mistakes especially near the end. The Frenchman was more consistant and that eventually won the day. Similar to De Scheeper's win over a temperamental Ignatik, who spurned 4 match points and lost on a very disputed line call on match point. Poor linesperson!

Chris Eaton was as you would expect at the moment, hit and miss. If only the court had been a bit bigger! Is opponent played very well though, and Chris was often left stranded at the net against someone who not only had a good serve, but passing shots as well.

Baker did find the going tougher as his match prgressed so perhaps he was indeed hampered by a stomach injury. No time outs or trainers were called as I can remember. Ryderstedt did play pretty well though, and Jamie was obviously diappointed the way things went in the end after getting back level.

So British interest ends at the QF stage which is unusual in Glasgow. But the better guys won on the day.

Jamie had his Stomach taped up I noticed. Pretty sure that was done before the match, as I didnt see anything happen during it. Mind you I had more than one eye on Daneikas comeback on the other side of the hall
