Morgan did manage to get a 2nd set bagel, so he and Alex will meet for the first time. I'd make the Bogster clear favourite on any other surface, but ...

Does anyone know how this match finished? It was supposed to start at 4 pm BST but wasn't on live scores when I checked, up to about 40 minutes later, and while there are now matches on live scores, it's not there and it's not in the completed matches list either.

I would presume Morgan won, it was 7-6(6) *4-5 about 15 mins ago when i checked
Where were you getting the scores? On my screen at least, only two matches have been up on the ATP's live scores for Sarasota since I got back half an hour ago, and neither of them were Alex v Morgan.

Strange, it's only showing main draw live/completed matches for me whether I look at it via desktop or iPhone. (yet it showed qualifying matches fine yesterday)

FQR: (q5) Morgan Phillips WR 441 beat (q3) Alex Bogdanovic WR 360 by 7-6(6) 7-5
Morgan is the first Brit other than Evo (twice) who has managed to beat Boggo since he lost to Bloomers at Surbiton in 2007 (Alex is now 13-3 since then), so clearly his clay court pedigree came in handy! Alex is the first in line for a LL place should one come up.
L32: (Q) Morgan Phillips WR 441 v (Q) Philip Bester (CAN) WR 246 L32: James Ward WR 217 v (Q) Wayne Odesnik (USA) WR 384 (CH 77)

shame for Boggo there but on clay you'd expect it to be closer than on any other surface. He did say it was really humid over there so hopefully Morgan and Wardy will be ok.
