Before the match you'd have expected James to win easily. Although after the 1st set he's done well to come through, well done!

I saw one game of the first set, and it was not pretty. Saw a bit more of the 3rd set, which was far superior. Glad that he was able to keep going through the rough patch and win.

Rice/Thornley about to start on livestream.

Ward last on tomorrow, so unfortunately going on for the middle of the night UK time.

Spectator · All-time great

First set to Rice and Thornley, 6-4. Some very good work getting out of a 0-40 situation at 4-3.

wolf · Tennis legend

They were 0-40 down on Sean's serve at 3-4, then won 10 points in a row and have just taken the first set 6-4. Jenkins has just called for the trainer for a shoulder injury.

wolf · Tennis legend

They seemed to want to protect that injury with Young swapping sides and serving first again but it doesn't work as a double sees Young broken again.

wolf · Tennis legend

Rice broken when serving for the match. 5-5.

wolf · Tennis legend

Lost the set 7-5. Not sure they can pull this off now as their body language has took a turn for the worse. Their upset they've not finished it.

R1: Jarmere Jenkins & Donald Young (USA/USA) CR 678 (251+427) defeated (Q) Dave Rice & Sean Thornley CR 433 (217+216) by 4-6 7-5 [10-8] bleh

The boys fashioned two breaks of service in the second set. Indeed, they served for the match at 6-5, but were apparently unable to capitalise... cry

Dead net cord at 8-8 in the MTB, though they should have put the ball away twice already. They just can't seem to establish themselves at challenger level.

Spectator · All-time great

That's a pity. I only watched the first set, but they had some nice games in it.

spud · Challenger qualifying

What a shame, looked at the livescores just before bed and saw they were 6-4 *1-0 up!

steven · Tennis legend

*5-6 in the 1st set - 2 bps created by each player so far, all taken. James was *3-5 but broke when Sock served for the set.
