Can definitely win this now especially if he keeps his foot on the pedal.

Interesting to see the camera cutting to JWH and Nick Eckeleears but the commentators haven't mentioned them yet

Liam bags the third set by 6-3! Wonder whether he's ever played a five-setter before...

I don't think so this being Liam's first main draw slam match and never having played davis cup before.

Whilst Liam has undoubtedly not taken his chances, this is his first Wimbledon and possibly his first 5 set match? Nerves and inconsistency are inevitable, but from what I've seen he's handled himself reasonably well and there's potential for the future. He's still only a young guy. And I don't think Mato's actually played that badly.

Now, if Ward bottles it tomorrow, then I'd be the first to criticise.

He breaks in the fourth set to go up 2-1. Well Done!

Regardless of all else (and nicofrance has a point,, as does savva, on the other hand), Liam's backhand has been a thing of joy - I remember reading he'd been working hard on it and, goodness, it's paid off.

Main draw, admittedly, but he's by no means a stranger to the place, having won the boys' doubles title (with Tom Farquharson) in 2010 & finished runner-up in the boys' singles the following year. wink

Can't believe that Mato's going to be like this in the fifth though....

Matosevic is playing as though the heat has got to him. His level in the 4th set has been dire.
