From 3-1 up, Neil lost 5 games in a row and with it the 1st set.

Still time for a comeback, but I feel he is going to have to play exceptionally well.

Neil holding his own in the 2nd at *2-3

What a shame. Neil actually served for the 2nd set at *5-4 but couldn't convert. He eventually lost 6-3 7-5.

Lloyd continues to move up through the 400s in the world rankings and now up to GB number 13 on Monday week ( and ahead of Richard as our third ranked under 25 after Kyle and Liam ). Win the title and he would be GB number 11.

Neil posted that he played well, but his opponent was too good. To be fair the Serbian's record is outstanding, especially at previous tournaments in Tunisia.
I expect Lloyd to have similar problems.

He said similar to me. Think as soon as he started missing (and Neil got the breaks) He just completed turned his game on and Neil said he was hitting winners everywhere. Was worried as soon as I saw how many tournaments he had won there. Be interesting to see how Lloyd gets on tomorrow.

First set dropped 6-3.
I'm guessing the Serbian is after an Aussie Open qualifying place

paulisi · Tennis legend

Lost 3&2

Spectator · All-time great

Neither loss surprising, as others have said, given Mr Milojevic's record. But a special well done to Mr Pauffley for running him very close. And now on to the doubles final for Mr Glasspool.
