EXACTLY what I was thinking . . .

just made a cup of coffee and thought that 15 mins of Marcus would be interesting.

Powers that be: If you want the GB public to follow tennis, it'd be nice for the GB matches to be properly streamed.

The really annoying thing is that if you click on the women's stream you can see them both but there is a graphic in front of it!

A tight match but Marcus couldn't win the big points, unfortunately. He goes down 7-6(3) 6-4.

But at least finally we are competing in challengers and beating 200-280 ranked players .

L16: (2) Gilles Müller (LUX) WR 108 defeated Dave Rice WR 314 by 3 & 4 cry

Müller has won a Challenger on grass here before and that is his 20th win in his last 21 Challenger matches, so it was always going to be a tough assignment for Dave.

All fall down...

This Kyrgios must be fairly handy if he can beat Kyle Edmund in straight sets! Anyone actually witness this match?

indiana · Tennis legend

Yep, imagine any top 200 player beating the phenomenon that is Kyle Edmund in straight sets.
