Ward a break down 2- 3

Gabashvili served for the set at *5-4 but Alex broke back. Now Alex leads 6-5*

Spectator · All-time great

Gabashvili took the first set tie-breaker ... and then Alex Ward broke Gabashvili to start the 2nd. Meanwhile it's coming to the business end of the 4th set of Offner/Clarke ....

And Marcus Willis and Ilya Marchenko are on serve in the 1st. Might be worth mentioning to the people providing comment when he plays that he's from Ukraine, not the Ukraine (bit of a sore point there if you're from Ukraine).

No Jay Broken from 40-0 up. And now Ofner serving first in final set

Jaffa · Challenger level

Oh dear...

Serving last final set, hasn't had a look in on Ofner's serve in ever, broken from 40-0 there... I'm going to be pessimistic and say I don't hold out much hope

James · Satellite level

Jay is about to go into a fifth set after losing the fourth 6-4. If Jay can keep his emotions under control then I still fancy him to take this one - however, it's going to be difficult for a guy his age who is so close to breaking new ground.

Not looking great at the start of this fifth set. So tough to have a really tight match with so much on the line as your first five-set match. But still possible - come on, Mr Clarke! (Meanwhile another match which has gone to five sets - bit of an epic- and which looks as if it would be well worth watching is J P Smith v Christian Garin. Always enjoy Smith - very inventive and great at the net. Never seen Garin, but he must be playing well)
