A little surprised not to see Broady playing here, since he is in Spain, but perhaps he didn't want to go from clay to hard and then back again

loving that stat! i thought it was 11 in a row, anyone know if thats some sort of record in itself like longest breaker streak?
if anyone has any spare time and fancies finding that out!

just watched alistair win his first point he won 6-3 3-6 6-3 under the flood lights in the night match, was a good performance from him. both have tough matches tomorrow. first on at 11, 10am uk time.

Good stuff  

A little googling revealed the ATP record for most winning tiebreaks in a row :

Andy Roddick -  18 in 2007  from  http://tennisbios.com/view/tennis-atp-records

I checked it out too on his activity on the ATP site and it is true.

It was ended, some might think rather remarkably, when Richard Gasquet came back from 2 sets down in their Wimbledon QF to win sets 3 and 4 on tiebreaks and the final set 8 - 6. 

Alistair Barnes lost the first set 6-3, but is on serve at 4-4 in the second.
