Dave is in a very long match and has just gone into a tie breaker in the first set.

100 points played before the tiebreak - and they took about 100 minutes!

I think the doubles final may be some time off.

Marcus and Lewis must be slight favourites now, given Dave's mammoth match.

Dave has saved at least 1 set point (may have had one too, I missed he 3 points from 5-6*) - it's 7-7

Marcus had at least one match point. Couldn't break. Now serving for it

Marcus avenges his defeat to Vanni in Eilat a few weeks ago, coming from a set down to win 3-6 6-2 6-4

Great to see Marcus win.

Can't believe Dave's first set took 100 minutes?! And I thought the opening set of the Murray/Djokovic US Open final was long...

That was only before the tiebreak! It can't have been far off 2 hours with the tiebreak included. You'd think they were playing on red clay LOL

Unfortunately, losing that set seems to have taken the stuffing out of Dave - he's now *1-4 and 15-30 down (though still only 1 break if he can hold here)

yeah, think Dave must have thought that lunch beckoned and, really, he'd had enough of being on that blasted court . .

Well done to Sam.
