MP for Oli in 2nd set tie break at 6-5*

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Which he duly converts to win 6-1 7-6(5)

Well played that man.

Will that sneak him back into the top 500 ? It is touch and go.

A win against Pongratz in the QF would make absolutely sure. But of course, I would love Oli to go much further and win this thing. He is definitely capable.

He's been pretty jammy with the draw at least - the other seed in his quarter, (3) Jebavy, retired after just 3 games of his R1 match against Pongratz.

He'd better win the QF - not just to make sure he gets back in the top 500 but also because there's a puntastic (ok, actually pretty lame!) open goal waiting here wink

It doesn't begin with the letter C does it ?!!

Oli has a couple of points to drop off in the next few weeks, so QF+ points are vital to remain in the top 500.

QF is very winnable - SF would be against 2nd seed Reissig, which is also very winnable.

Bob, wake up !

Oli wins 6-2 6-2 - Back into the top 500 he zooms (about WR 485?)

NB do you think Maxi Pongratz has a little brother called Mini Pongratz ?

Nice tweet from Oli

"Finally kept my concentration for the entire duration of a tennis match! Miracles do happen then..."

It is only 9.15 am here and I have already done my 6km walk on the beach !! It's a hard life smile

Let's just say, one down, two to go. Over to Josh G and Marzi.

Now we may get a better guide as to where Oli's form is really at.

Got a good feeling here. Fancy Oli to take this one.
