Week 6 - ATP 250, Memphis, USA - Indoor Hard

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Decent draw. Has Liam played any ATP event outside of the UK before?

Spectator · All-time great

Decent first round.

Liam seems to like the states! a potentially exciting but challenging week, looks like ATP qualifying here is comparable with AO. Fingers crossed.

RobH · Social player

Main draw out and the qualy slots are Jaziri, Kukushkin and a QvQ slot. Could be worse draws on offer.

Very recent interview with Liam here: tennisatlantic.com/2015/02/07/glenysfurness-chats-with-uk-young-gun-liam-broady-liambroady/

He has a good quali draw - making his ATP Tour debut! Go Liam!

He had set points as well...Awful collapse.

Liam about to serve for the 2nd at *5-4. Let's hope for a different outcome than in the 1st set.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

That's more like it. This time Liam serves out to love.

Into a decider.

RJA · Hall of fame

Liam took the decider 6-3.

A win is a win but hardly an encouraging sign for the more difficult matches ahead, Kokkinakis in the next round.

To be fair, as has been pointed out in his challenger thread, Liam's challenger doubles exploits weren't helping his prep for here.

He battled through and got the win so well done on that.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Well done Liam, perhaps a bit of stiffness after doubling up last week. Thanks for the interview, he seems to be extremely comfortable in the US and on tour for a couple of months. Last summer it took a bit of time to settle down before the results began to flow. A match up next that I feel we will see again and again over the next decade. Time to put down an early marker or have they played before?
