That's a very respectable effort by Mr Butler.

And another fantastic win for Cam.

Cam is up for it - according to a quote on twitter and I wouldn't be surprised if he won.

I think it'll be tight, Cam has more to gain from winning today, so that may give him a bit of an edge.

Saying all that, Liam to win in 3.

paulisi · Tennis legend

3 games and 3 breaks

Liam 4*-1 up. Cam yet to hold serve.

Now *4-3

Cam fighting back

First set Liam 6-4

Come on Nozza.

LB *0-3 CN

Liam just saved at least one bp before eventually holding 1-3* (CN 3/11 on bps so far)

CN recovers from 0-30 to hold to 30 *1-4

LB holds to 15 2-4*

CN broken to 15 including a df *3-4 (CN not doing a good job of saving bps so far 1/5)

LB holds to 40 (no bps) 4-4*

CN in danger at 15-30 after another df 15-40 saves the first bp but not the 2nd *5-4

LB soon 40-0 holds to love 6-4

In non-break points there wasn't much between the two players. CN underperformed his own stats on both saving bps and taking bps (or put another way, LB outperformed his own stats)
