well done oli.
has the ability to win the whole thing. but won't be surprised if he loses to frantangelo. which pretty much sums it up.

Disappointment in doubles as George/Mate come back from 6-0 down in the match tiebreak to 9-9 but lose, and Kyle & partner concede a walkover

Doubles R2

(4) Artunedo Martinavarr / Carballes Baena (ESP) d. Edmund/Montgomery (GBR/RSA) w/o

Karatsev/Karlovskiyy (RUS) d. (2) Morgan/Pavic (GBR/CRO) 4-6 7-5 [12-10]

QF

(1) Golding/Vesely (GBR/CZE) v Krueger / Vinsant (USA) Court 17 3rd match

Oli's singles is the first match on court 17

According to a tweet from Neil Harman (Times tennis correspondent) which Steven has drawn attention to: "Hearing Kyle Edmund (GB) had to scratch boys dubs when partner Wayne Montgomery (SA) caught selling tickets outside ground and defaulted."

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Kyle conceded a walkover because his partner was caught selling tickets outside the ground and was thrown out of the tournament. Shame for Kyle really.

Oli Golding celebrates his Queen's WC by getting broken to love in the first game of his QF. Oops!

steven · Tennis legend

He won a point in the second game, so that's an improvement! evileye

Already 0-40 down in the next though.

steven · Tennis legend

Broken to love again then gets bps on Frat's serve, but the AMerican holds after multiple deuces.

steven · Tennis legend

Frat holds and breaks again. Having swallowed a breadstick for breakfast, hopefully Oli will do a bit better in the 2nd set, and at least not go down as heavily as when they played each other 2 weeks ago.

steven · Tennis legend

Or not ... Oli broken again in the 2nd game of the 2nd set.

Spectator · All-time great

Oh dear. I suppose every player has his nemesis. But I do hope that Mr Golding works out a way around him. I wonder what it is that makes him so difficult to play?

steven · Tennis legend

Frat holds again then a hint of a fightback Oli holds and gets to 0-40 on Frat's serve, but the American then wins 5 points in a row and it's 1-6 *1-4

steven · Tennis legend

... and now Frat breaks again and will serve for the match.

steven · Tennis legend

An unwanted trip to the boulangerie for Oli, who goes down 1&1. Ouch!

Oli: "I have to put my hands up and say too good .. When I played him 2 weeks ago it was the best anyone has ever played against me .... ... But I think he just played even better. Still a good week for me and still in dubs so I'll have to wait a bit more to get on the grass"
