second set to Liam 6-4

into the third!

Liam breaks at the crucial time to take us into a third set.

Liam served really well in that set. Jaziri is throwing in the odd terrific backhand and is a similar style to Liam in his court craft.

freerider · Futures level

Liam really stepping in on the Jaziri second serve in the game where he broke for the set causing great problems. The key for Liam to break seems to be keeping the points shorter as Jaziri is making the lines consistently and controlling in the longer rallies

freerider · Futures level

5 bps for Liam in that game - Jaziri holds 3-3 final set

Hope Liam doesn't live to regret that game. Jaziri serving at *2-3. Liam created 3 BPs, had 3 second serves to go at, and missed 3 backhands.

Stay focused Liam. You can still win this.

Liam holds. Really important after the disappointment of the last game.

4-3*

freerider · Futures level

big hold from 0-30 down. Thought that was going to be a classic saves 5bps then goes and breaks but some big serving from Liam proved otherwise

paulisi · Tennis legend

Good hold. The racket throwing out of frustration at not breaking was a slight concern.

Now is the time to break.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Perfect time to break. Serve it out now...

Liam was listening! *5-3

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

This time Liam breaks and will serve for the match.

*5-3

paulisi · Tennis legend

Got tight there. Jaziri kept the ball in play and Liam made the errors.

Horrible game. Poor serving and a bunch of errors.
