Liam being referred to as 'Brit' loses 6-0 in the second.

Liam lost the second set 0-6 - and from the bit I heard was his own worst enemy, berating himself after every dud point. He needs to grow out of that very quickly

Yes, it doesn't need said which player around the very top of the game seems to berate himself far too much, often without seemingly any real cause, and more importantly often seemingly unhelpfully. In phases, but very far into his career, it has got quite a bit better.

Have a look at some of his Andy's reactions, Liam, and consider if they are entirely helpful.

Sound a bit like his match at Chiswick in the summer where he spent most of the match beating himself up.

Oh dear, looks like the 'positive start to the 2nd set' must have only lasted 2 or 3 points. It was obvious on the audio stream that he was really getting down on himself (and everything else) today, which was odd because he had had a good week here up to then.
