A bonus for those of you who weren't up early this morning - footage of most of Jamie Baker's 3rd set v Donald Young can be found on youtube at http://bit.ly/ZGxh0a - or just the final game from 4:38:37 and the post-match interview from 4:44:11 biggrin

 I cant seem to open this link?

No bit.ly links have been working for the last hour or so (a temporary server glitch, I assume) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqsASFSxrwg should work, with the coverage starting in the 2nd game of the 3rd set at about 4:10:24.s

 Thanks Steven, got there in the end! If only wimbledon did this with there qualifying, although i guess the courts where that takes place it would be hard to set up cameras etc?

Excellent from Jamie, has such a solid game which will only help him against an erratic Rosol. Big year for him- hope to see top 150!

Jamie plays tonight. Third match on court 20, which sadly is not a televised court.

Jamie holds through deuce and then breaks to 30 6-7(5) *2-0

He then held on to his break until *5-3 when, once again, Rosol broke back as Jamie served for the set 5-4*

Disappointing to have wasted the chance to win both first and 2nd sets. I guess after 6 first round defeats in slams you are bound to get nervous serving for a set. Shame.

Jamie not winning enough points against the 2nd serve to get many bp opportunities. His serving stats look good. First serve percentage is 67% with 8 aces and just one df. Winning 70% behind first and 42% behind second.

Finished 2-6 in the third.

Mayer-Williams going into a 5th set after an epic tie-break (14-12) Could be a while before Jamie plays. Theres another match after this one...

Jamie starts impressively with two love holds, though Rosol has only dropped one point in each of his first three service games too. *2-3
