Joe leads 6-0 2-0

With mega thanks again to wolf !!! - I'll be back in 30 mins to have a look at Andy on court 3 (and Sizya - last match court 2 - if I'm around). And then there's all the MD Brits later on . . :::)))

Under Live services, if anyone can't find, it on

- no sound (for me, at least) and no score on the actual livestream page (open another tab), but great picture and great to see some of the guys one's never seen before.

Bettles rather feebly blew 3 set points but has now re-broken and will serve again for the first set.

add: and manages it second time 7-5

Kivanda's match is currently 3-2 to him and being streamed on the tournament's web site

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Kivanda takes the first set 6-3

For what it's worth (which is not a lot) my take is that I tend to agree with paulisi's description of Bettles, at the start of Wrexham, as 'fairly solid with no real weapons'.

Which is not a criticism, as it could be said of a whole heap of players up the rankings (Ed Corrie's game is pretty much that, and he's one of my favourite players; David Ferrer is the same but takes solidity to a level where it becomes a major weapon in itself). That said, he (Bettles) tends to come up on his toes and 'flap' at the ball, all arm and a bit off-balance.

No real comment on Joe as it looked good but the match was so one-sided you can't really judge.

But Kivanda has an attractive game - rather clay court to look at (did he somehow learn on clay?). Like the whip he gets on his backhand, and the courtcraft. Doesn't get much on his serve though, which is a problem (and this is hard court, indoors).

far closer second set - mainly because the swedish guy played better - but Sizya wins the TB 7-5 ::))

QR1: Sizya Kivanda defeated (8) Philip Moebius (SWE) WR 2071 6-3 7-6(5)

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

So once again, Sizya has stripped Moebius of his chance at the Main Draw. IGMC

paulisi · Tennis legend

I think Sizya has got potential. He has a lovely backhand when he gets it going. I'd expect all three to qualify, hopefully with better draws.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Reading on an old BBC site that Sizya is a product of one of the City Tennis clubs. Good to hear :)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

joe has sailed through his first set, and is better than his opponent, 6-1

Andy has had a harder time of it, playing a guy with a bizarre, Gulbis-like driven forehand, and lots of sliced 'nonsense' shots, but has managed to win the first set 6-4. Was close though.
