Toilet break for Elgin/Istomin after less than an hour. Silly.

Nervy start from Neal broken 1-2*
Nerves forgivable, I think, given that it's his maiden ATP final.
First set down the pan by 2-6. Let's hope that the nerves will now settle & that the boys can make more of a match of it in the second set.
The boys break for a *2-0 lead in the second set. Better...!
They get the double break: *4-0. Much better... Neal must've found his feet at last!
5-0. Nerves? What nerves!? Don't be silly. Haha
Yep playing much better and took both the deciding points they won
They've clearly moved up a gear: they allowed the Russian & the ex-Russian to get on the scoreboard (careless! ), but still dish out a breadstick to capture the second set & take the match into a CTB.
Drama, tension 12-11
