No problem though as Liam breaks straight back to take the 1st set 6-4.

Josh · Challenger level

Dodgy start to the 2nd set, quickly down 0-4.

Josh · Challenger level

A couple of set points saved at *1-5 and now just one break down, *3-5.

Josh · Challenger level

Come-back complete, back to 5-5

Not bad quality but commentary is in French unfortunately (for me anyway)

Liam's an early break up *3-1.

Quite a decent stream and I'm quite enjoying the comedy French - oops I mean Québecois French - no, I was right the first time wink

When I started watching, he was 1-5 down in the 2nd, so it was good to see him win the next 5 games I saw before Horansky held to take it into a tiebreak.

Horansky has started the t/b well though - Liam serving at *0-3

Liam gets the m/b back when Horansky DFs - *3-4

steven · Tennis legend

*6-5 balle de match on his own serve ... missed

steven · Tennis legend

... and now a balle de set for Horansky on his own serve ... and somewhat against the run of play, we're going to a 3rd

steven · Tennis legend

Btw "le tiebreak" in French is "le bris d'égalité" in Québecois - they have to complicate it LOL

Liam clearly pretty annoyed about losing that set and, perhaps understandably, a bit flat at the start of the 3rd, but he did just enough to hang in there for his first two service games. Looked to be winning the 3rd as well, but lost it from 40-15 (I think)up, dfing on break point

6-4 6-7(6) 2-4*

steven · Tennis legend

Liam races out to 0-40 and takes the 2nd bp, then holds for 4-4*

steven · Tennis legend

30-40 balle de bris pour Liam Broady ...

saved, but now another one ...

also saved ... Liam not pleased when he fails to create a third, and Horansky holds

6-4 6-7(6) *4-5

steven · Tennis legend

Oh no - df to start - 0-30 - 0-40 (screams "idiot!" at himself, as you would) ... saves 1 MP but not the 2nd

Horansky wins an extremely tight match 4-6 7-6(6) 6-4 - I'm still not quite sure how

So, up to Oli to stop the Slovak in his tracks.

Or as the commentator put it "Horansky vient de la république ... euh ... Soviétique ... ah non, république Tchèque ... euh non, Slovén ... euh Slovakie" - is he Ken with a French accent?!
