Lloyd takes the first set 6-3. He was an underdog with the bookies before the match started

Which makes sense, given the ranking difference.

Down to the wire now, 4-4, in the third

With Liam and Scott in a tie-break....

add: which Scott wins, to 5

Lloyd only one game away, but still on serve

Damn - Marti wins 7-4 in the tie-break.

But blinkin' close for Lloyd - against a guy who was ranked 200 in the world and, as said, is a fine player.

With all points being net pluses for Lloyd in the next 6 months, the only way is up.

NB Marti is a very controversial player - LOTS of bad blood with the fed. over there - banned from Davis Cup (effectively), talks of fights, the Fed. cheating him of money, it's been a big story.

Wiki has a reasonable synopsis for anyone who cares:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yann_Marti

 I assume you mean the Federation and not the Federer

smilesmilesmile  yes, I do - and if Roger's lawyer is listening, I'm sorry if it wasn't obvious !

No sign off the Broady result - it was about to go to one set all.

I blame Liam's shoes for the machines crashing...

I notice Liam has switched rackets from Dunlop to Head Radicals.

That's quite a change!

I myself made the switch from head to dunlop a year ago but am going back to head now. Dunlops were pretty bad tbh.

 Each to their own though isn't it, I personally use a Babolat now, tried having a go with a Wilson ProStaff and literally couldn't hit the ball! Haha
