Dan has lost so few points on his serve this match so he must be gutted to not to have won that 2nd set. Needs a solid start to the 3rd!

6-3 6-7(8) 1-0*

Dan trying to copy Ed's scoreline me thinks...

I guess dishing out a bagel qualifies as a solid start smile

Dan wins 6-3 6-7(8) 6-0

Perfect reaction from both Brits to being forced into a 3rd set!

That could be the win that takes Dan into the ATP top 300 for the first time - another win would make sure.

Make sure Danny boy, make sure

Ed will play 7th seed Kutrovsky in the SFs. Dan will of course play the winner of Richard's match which sould be starting in about 20 minutes.

No breaks in the first 6 games then Richard breaks, gets broken back, breaks again, faces break point while serving for the set but manages to hold serve in the end to win it 6-4

steven · Tennis legend

Richard breaks for the third time in a row to take an early lead in the 2nd set

6-4 *1-0

^^^^^

And appears to be on a bit of a run: 4-0*... Hang in there, lad!

steven · Tennis legend

Wow, unlike Ed & Dan, Richard's not waiting for a 3rd set to put his foot on the gas! 6 games in a row now!

6-4 4-0*

steven · Tennis legend

Just realised that Gigounon is WR 251 and Richard's current best ranking scalp is 252 (Josh Goodall in Bath last year)

No counting chickens though - Gigounon holds serve to stop the rot - 6-4 *4-1

steven · Tennis legend

Well, career best scalps are never easy to close out, are they ... Gigounon gets one of the breaks back 6-4 4-2*
