Noticed Bob in the crowd, looking completely relaxed despite Muzz making heavy weather of this early on ... plus earlier a few of the AMFFers waving flags.

Coric is much better than I expected, but he won't be able to keep this level up and fitness will tell. Straight sets win for Andy, running away with sets 2 and 3.

 Yes, I agree.

NB Do hope our juniors are watching this too !

Yes, I also hope that they will understand that Coric is where he is not just because of his talent but because of his dedication and professionalism.

A1, spot on.

All too easy now, as expected. Surely Coric will not play in reverse singles.

He will probably play it if it is a dead rubber. If it is 2-2 then Veic is bound to play it.

Second set 6-0 to GB, but worryingly, Andy is showing signs of back trouble. Damn clay.

How many times can Eurosport's transmission crash in 1 set of tennis? Annoyed!

Leon's plan for Evo: keep him as far away from Solihull as possible (that's not reading between the lines - that's pretty much what he actually said )

He thinks Evo should be setting his sights high, i.e. aiming for AO main draw, and will mainly be playing Challengers in the US then Challengers in Asia for the rest of the year.

 Hi, no, haven't fallen asleep !

Dan's playing well but Dodig is just that little bit better at the moment . . . could all change . . .

Not really too worried what happens here as I never thought there was ever much prospect of Evo beating Dodig on clay. To be honest I'm not overly confident of Andy winning on Sunday.

Even though Dodig is a very good player, he is playing at a very high level for him. If Dan can just keep holding serve, he should get at least a chance this 3rd set

As expected 1-1 after day 1. We are probably marginal favourites in all of the remaining rubbers.
