I do hope that Harry can pull through here ( stay calm, Josh ! ) He's not had a great deal of luck with draws of late, but has clearly been playing to a much higher level
Agreed with all the above re Harry. He has lost out in a couple of close ones recently against much higher players so I really hope he can pull through today.
Meanwhile, JWH has taken the 2nd set 7-5 against Liam and they are into a decider.
Another near miss for Harry as he loses 6-4 in the 3rd. Must be so frustrating for him but I am sure his "breakthrough" week is just around the corner. His level has been consistently high this year.
