Liam has been taken to a decider as Frost takes the 2nd set 6-4.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Liam leads 4*-0 in the decider

And Liam fulfils his half of the bargain - eventually:

L16: (1) Liam Broady WR 279 defeated (Q) Linus Frost (SWE) UNR by 6-1 4-6 6-0

ergo

QF: (1) Liam Broady WR 279 vs (5) Ed Corrie WR 336 hmm

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Not sure if Liam went on a hot streak or Frost just went cold, but good to see Liam run away with that decider.

Now we have the problems of split loyalties for a QF. On this occasion, and with no disrespect to Ed whatsoever, I will be cheering for Liam. I think he needs the win more than Ed does. But good luck to both of them anyway. Let's hope it is a high quality match.

Love it !! But Bob's capable of far better, something like I fought de Loore and de Loore won comes to mind ;)

Anyway back to the tennis, very happy to see Liam progress this week, and eventhough I know Ed and he's a real good guy, I hope Liam sneaks it tomorrow.

Would be nice to see Liam build up the ranking to possibly get into Aus open quallies.

I refrained from that one today as I have use it here before, although it did appear in my tweet to Soto Tennis today when commenting on Lloyds result.

Spectator · All-time great

And further puns over on the French thread, too.

My loyalties are well and truly split on this one: both players I always like to see do well, and both could use the win. So just hope it's a good match that both winner and lose can claim with pride!

Liam and Ed locked at 5-5 in the opening set. Liam seems to have the edge slightly. He is 0/5 on BP conversions but Ed yet to create a BP. Sounds like a recipe for Ed nicking the 1st set on a TB to me.

Liam edges the tie break

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Liam created a 6th BP in the final game of the set but Ed held to take the set to a TB. In the end, Liam took that TB 7-5.

It was a clever piece of jinxing by Bob.
