Safwat has fought back to lead *4-3 against Liam

Fitzy's score is still stuck on 0-3* 15-15. I predict it is a technical glitch and that when they sort out the problem, Fitzy will have won the next 6 games and the first set.

PS. Now you all know why I don't bet on sporting events !!

Looks like it must have been a lengthy MTO.

Fitzy's match now back under way and it is not good news. He is *0-4 down and has won only 5 points to far.

Scratch that. The scoreboard is now on "fast-forward" and it is suddenly *2-4 40-0 and the fightback is on.

Technical problems. I should have known !!

Liam lost the first set 6-3. The glitch on Fitzy's scoreboard seems to have corrected itself and it is now 3-4* so one break back.

Fitzy lost the first set 6-4, but is currently 4-0 up in the second

Liam 5-0 down in second set.

Disappointing for Liam. Having won the first 2 games, he then lost 12 of the next 13, losing 6-3 6-0

Always going to be tough against the top seed though.

Fitzy however, having lost the first 4 games, has fought back and has now evened the match up at one set all.

4-6 6-1

Come on Fitzy.

But not that tough!

I didn't expect Liam to win, that would be far too much to ask, but against a player ranked outside 300 to lose 10 games in a row (from 3-2* first set ) is quite spectacular. I notice again Liam managed no aces in the match. Perhaps his serve and his game are too lightwight for the pro game for the time being - Liam certainly cuts much more of a David Goffin figure than a Tomas Berdych!

Fitzy bagelled him in final set, but now has a really tough QF against last week's winner.

Maybe Fitzy is like me and doesn't like early mornings !!

However, from a slow start and 4-0 down in the first set, he went on to win 16 of the next 19 games.

4-6 6-1 6-0

Well played that man !!!!!

Come on now RJA, be fair.  Given Liam and JWH's form recently, this is an excellent result.  After all, they haven't won a tournament together for at least 4 days now. wink

It could've been over so much more quickly:  the boys served for the match at 5-3 in the second...
