TF winning 24% behind his 2nd serve, the key stat. JB winning over 50% behind his 2nd 

JB holds to 15 for 5-1*

TF holds to love for *5-2 . He'd faced bps in every service game since the start of the 2nd set.

SF: (4) Jamie Baker WR 242 v Tim Pütz (GER) WR 540

Pütz is having a great week - he beat 6th seed Evo yesterday and 2nd seed Mertens today, both in 3rd set tiebreaks!

Meanwhile, Jamie is the only British man who has won a Futures singles match today - against non-Brits, it's 0-6 today, with the results from Alabama still outstanding.

It looks Neil has the measure of Knittel's serve. Another break for *5-1

I feared his failure to serve out the set at *5-1 might signal the start of the inevitable collapse. cry  I hope he proves me wrong & manages to engineer another break:  *5-5.

Difficult to know whether Neil has collapsed or Knittel has just woken up ...
