Disappointing first set, lets hope Oli can pull through.

Oli's tweets are quite amusing about his time in Egypt so far. Loved the stuff about getting from the airport to the hotel.

looks like Oli has been broken in the first game of the second set as well.

But breaks straight back. 1-1

Julia Carrot · All-time great

C'mon Oli

Break point to stay in the match & take it to a tie break

Julia Carrot · All-time great

He does that

Tie break time after a strange 2nd set.

Oli led 5-2 before conceding 4 games in a row. But as Lizariturry tried to serve out the set, Oli saved 2 MPs to take the match into a tie break.

Come on Oli. Still in there fighting.

*4-2 down at the change of ends

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Now it seems to have stuck at 2 -5. Hope Oly has not hit himself or anybody

L32: (3) Oli Golding WR 460 lost to Juan Lizariturry (ESP) WR 676 : 4-6 6-7(4)

Disappointing for Oli given his 5-2 lead in the 2nd set. A few more cobwebs to be swept away before he is back to his best, no doubt.
