What a frustrating end to that set, played great to get back into it, then committed harikari to lose it.

Hoppy · Junior player

Really? JW may not be having a great time of it at the moment but he's still some way ahead of Lloyd for now

Really ?

At or indeed anywhere near his best yes, but that has been very rarely glimpsed for some time. At his normal in recent times I don't think so.

I was just wondering Phil, if this post had made its escape from the Women's section ? smile

Lloyd v James should be on livestream the match before it is in a 2nd set tie break so could be soon or might be a while yet. I see the odds are with James when it comes to the bookies. Which surprises me given James form this year and Lloyds move up the rankings.

Dan on soon v Brian Baker. up on livescore

thejester · Satellite level

Come on Dan, just following on live scores so I'm happy to see an 0 and 0 win ;)

Pretty tight though, on bet365 anyway. Lloyd 1/1, James 3/4.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Lloyd takes the first set 6-3

Both guys served OK.

But from the back of the court, James' aggressive play was a touch better than Lloyd's.

But Lloyd's defense was miles better than James'.

And so, net net, justice done.
