Certainly the best I've seen him play. Love the top spin.

Liam was robbed by some of these calls and it has rattled him. Real shame - in trouble here.

Lost his head at the changeover, quite rightly. Real shame

Simon · Lower Club Player

Some pretty shocking calls against him though

There was only call where he was 'robbed', I think. And it was the first point of the game. The others I think were correct.

He should have broken in the previous game, though. He had all the pressure.

Liam recovers the break *3-3

Standard of play seems to have dropped 4-3*

As a player myself, let me tell you it's hard to get over even in the first point

Much to my amazement he's broken back thanks to a framed backhand winner. All count!

I know which call you are referring to, but there has been a couple of strange ones.

Still he is returning well - didnt expect that immediate break back.

Ok 4-3* - thankfully the umpire over-ruling another dodgy call on Liams baseline!

Not saying its a home advantage...but you have to wonder. In truth Liam has looked comfortably the better player since losing the first, but it will be a test of his mental strength to see if he keeps it up towards the business end of the 3rd.
