Real shame but not particularly surprising. This week still represents a welcome change of wind for Liam

Good standard of tennis here - Dan takes the 1st set 6-4. He had to save several BPs, but did so. Keep going mate!

Great serve/ volley to seal the set.

Dan *1-2 0-40 down, BF very aggressive on 2nd serve and goes wide for 15-40, but after getting to a good position at the net on next point, Dan volleys into the net to concede the break 1-3*

And then quite quickly, it's *1-4

Could it be crucial? Dan gets lucky net cord at 30-40 that sets up a forehand winner, and then four points later saves a second break point with a volley, before finally holding for 2-4*. BF hitting some bombs with forehands down the line, but still only one break in it.
