Liam taking charge: 4*-1

RJA · Hall of fame

First set to Liam 6-1

DavidC · Tennis legend

Liam eventually secures a break in game 2 of the second set and has control at 6-1 3-0* Similarly Peliwo is a set and 3-0 up

Spectator · All-time great

Peliwo and Broady both absolutely routing their opponents -- almost as if they're having a competition to see who can get off court fastest! Broady's match in particular staggeringly uneven for a semifinal.

DavidC · Tennis legend

Make that 6-1 5-0* (I thought Liam might struggle with the wind, but clearly not - meanwhile Peliwo is 6-4 4-0)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Peliwo wins the "competition" but Liam wins his match very comfortably 6-1 6-1 to set up a repeat of the Canadian semi. Peliwo will be looking for revenge, claiming that an achilles injury was the reason he lost from a winning position (and nearly pulled out of the US Open)

Final
(13) Liam Broady (GBR) v (2) Filip Peliwo (CAN)

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

I guess its down to who can cope with the wind - it does tend to make matches more uneven. I can't believe the speed at which the shadows/sun are rolling across murray's court, and Liam doesn't have the benefit of a huge stand to provide shelter.

Whatever the conditions it looks like a really good win for Liam. Hopefully he takes his last chance to win a junior slam.

Liam is being interviewed on the 5 live commentary of Andy's match.

They had points for a 4-1 double break which they may well regret as the Aussies take the first set 7-5 on the deuce point
