Dan and AMM both make a good start on serve - AMM winning 8/8 1st serve points but 0/2 2nd serve points, while in his first service game, Dan got half his 1st serves in but won all 4 points. He's now 0-30 down though

Kyle has won 12 of the first 15 points against Dave 3-0*

Brydan, despite his nice-looking draw, is a break down against JHR 2-4*

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Dan loses the first set 6-1.

Some loose play from him in the middle . . . :(

Brydan's had a couple of break-back points but not taken them . . .

Kyle 4-1 up

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Brydan loses the first set 6-3

Fantastic and something I am sure we all hope to see more of over the next 2-3 years, at least we will have one in the last 16! How are you watching/ following the Rice v Edmund game?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

No stream (I think) for Kyle/Rice but there's livescores on the atp world tour live site (protennislive.com)

1-1 second set

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Menendez saved two BPs - one with a big serve but the other after a long, very even rally.

Dan 4-3*

Brydan up a break.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Dan saves 5 BPs. The Spaniard a bit frustrated :)

Brydan gets the second set.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

AMM beats Dan Cox 6-1 7-5 a fair score - the Spanish guy was better.

Brydan a break up in the third.

On serve still for the other two

Every time I had a chance to have a look, AMM was blasting a 1st serve and leaving Dan swinging at air, so to find out that he got 75% of 1st serves in and won 92% of the points when he did so wasn't a big surprise. From the evidence of the little I saw, it looked like AMM was having a good day, not Dan a particularly bad one.

Dave seems to be sticking with Kyle well after that bad start.

steven · Tennis legend

I spoke too soon re Dave - Kyle is about to serve for the match 6-3 *5-4

Steven, am I right in saying Bryden gets 5 points for qualifying?

If so, thats a decent haul so far this week
