Tom had at least 2 match points and must have faced at least 7 overall.
That was more nail-biting than the time I was at Wimbledon in 2009 watching Tom and Stefan Sterland-Markovic come from a set down to win a junior doubles match (against a pair that included the then junior no. 1) 13-11 in the 3rd ... when Tom was easily the most unruffled player on the court, as I guess he must have been here.

From a set down, MPs down in the 2nd set tiebreak (surely), *2-5 down in the 3rd and multiple match points down in the 3rd set tiebreak, Tom wins 4-6 7-6(10) 7-6(9)
What a battle! Well done, lad. So pleased to have been worrying unnecessarily!

Yes, but Strachan was 6-4 and it seems quite close (as far as one can tell).
And Adam TB lost 6-3 with a 0-8 BP converted stat !
It could all change (or not . . .)
NB congrats to Colin O'Brien yesterday as the only irishman out of 5 matches who managed to squeeze the win (at age 29, against a 32 year-old). Sam Barry doing well today so far . . .
