Londero in after Kamke withdraws. Presumably means Ed is now next man in if someone else comes a cropper.

Looks like Liam could be in for a wait. The match 2 before his on court 9 is currently 9-8 in the 3rd set. Had forgotten there were no breakers in the deciding set, even in qualifiers.

And rain (I presume) stops play with that match poised with Ungur serving at 4-6 7-6(4) 10-11/40-15!

Anyone tired of my no Slam MD WCs scripts, I'll happily move over to my TBs in all sets ones

BeefyDeedz · Pro player

No 3rd set TBs in qualifiers is a joke, really. No good for anyone.

TMH · Futures qualifying

In qualifiers agreed, but in the main draw of the slams I much prefer the no-final-set-TB system. Not a fan of the USO final set tie-break.

You say all that but we would have been deprived of Boggo's epic 24-22 scoreline or something like that, from Wimby a while back, great drama indeed.

Play has resumed: Brydan 0-4* in the first set against Bourgue. hmm

Vanni (q6) *13-13 against Ungur!

Looks like it may have started raining again.

Kyle is up on the scoreboard, the marathon before Liam has just finished - and I have to take the other half to the doc's, dammit. Play well boys, I'll check up when I get back.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Brydan seems to be playing much better now, he was 5-1 down and had points for 5-4*.

Couldn't take them, so he's a set down. But hope!

Vanni eventually took the final set, which lasted for 2 hours & 19 minutes, by 16-14. The match overall last for five minutes short of four hours! disbelief

Jaffa · Challenger level

Brydan now in to a third.

Kyle has recovered an early break against Melzer.

KyleM · Lower Club Player

Break points galore in the opening six games, Edmund took to his sixth to break back after Melzer went an early break up. In 5 of the first 6 games, the server has faced break points.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Melzer breaks again to lead Kyle *4-3.

Looks like Kyle hasn't got his serve working yet. Only 39% on 1st serve. When it goes in though he wins 82% of the points.
