Emmas, unfortunately they aren't streaming from Happy Valley this week.

In future, if you go to the www.livestream.com website and search ATP, most challengers will have streaming from two courts - the US ones have a commentator too!

Don't know why it isn't on the usual ATP Challenger livestream but there is streaming from two courts here. Liam wasn't on a streamed court for R1 but I think he is today. It is available here;

It's at times like this I wish I was back out in Brazil which is 3 hours behind the UK.

Broady an early break down in the first 2-3*

Decent quality live stream for a challenger.

Double break. 2-5*

First set lost 6-2. He won 50% of his first serves, and was 0/2 for bps, compared to 2/5 for Authom.

I had it on in the background, but it looked to me that he played alright - Authom is obviously on a good run at the tailend of last year (as is Liam).

Liam battling well in the 2nd 3-*2

And now serving to stay in it 3*-5

And holds to love to make it 4-5*

29 wins in a row for Authom

L16: Liam Broady WR 192 lost to (Q) Maxime Authom (BEL) WR 209 (CH 143 in 2013) by 2 & 4

But Authom holds on to win 6-2 6-4

Slightly disappointing result, but onwards and upwards going into Melbourne.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Shame, but I feel this is a new phase in his development ie preparing for GS (Aussie) qualifying as opposed to trying to win on the futures tour per se. That I think comes in February and March with another real crack after the US Open through to the year end
