Doubly delighted by that result. Firstly because Aljaz deserves enormous credit for his composure throughout the match and secondly because I won't have to a watch Karlovic any more.

That's a terrific win! Hurrah for Mr Bedene! Tremendous fortitude.

So two men through, with one all GB match and James Ward still to play.

...and Brydan Klein to play as well, in case we forget...

Cracking effort, Mr. Bedene.

That was crazy, even just on live scores - it must take some doing when Ivo's on one of his better serving days, to know that one lapse and you've probably lost the set.

Oops! Apologies to Mr Klein. I kept thinking I was missing one ... but it's been a long day.

What a great match. Brilliant attitude from Aljaz, not getting frustrated with being served off court and taking his chances.

I'm really happy for him with the dreadful run he's had with the DC hassle this last few years. I hope he can put it behind him and get on with his carreer, whichever country he's playing for. He seems like a really nice guy.

Yes. And should be noted that Aljaz is coached by Nick Cavaday, I learned yesterday.

So well done to GB's Nick too - you're obviously doing a great job !

And to Aljaz for picking a British coach

Anyone who puts work the way of the British tennis community is also playing a big part in keeping tennis going in Britain.
