Waking up to this news has got my day off to an excellent start. So good to see Liam back up his wins from last week with some more great results and beating Sela is definitely a "great result".

De Loore next, and Liam beat him comprehensively 2&2 last week, so let's hope for a repeat performance this week.

I wonder if having Sis around has helped this week (though he did pretty good last week without her)? I presume they're at the same location?

Good that he's got a day off today too, after so many games in the last couple of weeks.

Lots of tweets from Dave Sammel - anyone know: is he officially coaching Liam now? Or just helping out? Or just there anyway and giving him a bit of support?

In Mike Cation's two interviews, Liam says that he and Dave Sammel are working together again. Liam says that earlier in the year he "bit the bullet" and asked Dave to start working with him again having previously parted ways some time earlier.  It certainly seems to be paying dividends.

Thanks, Bob.

I haven't got round to listening to the interviews yet. So I must !

But great to hear that they're working together and, as you say, very successfully so far, too.

The interview in which he talks about Dave Sammel is here

Just follow the links.  It comes across as an extremely honest and mature interview with Liam talking about his rise and fall - and rise again.  The bit relating to Dave Sammel is between minutes 3 and 4.  The interview is definitely worth a listen.

Liam has just lost the tiebreak in the first set 10-8 after having had 3 set points at 6-3 then saving two but losing the third. I don't think that there were any breaks of serve before the tiebreak

De Loore proving to be a much tougher opponent this week and he takes the 1st set on a TB 10-8. Liam had his chances when he led *6-3 in the TB but De Loore came up with a really good get on the 1st SP and saved 2 more SPs before taking the set.

Liam drops a battling first set 6-7(8)

No breaks of serve but Liam saved 6/6 BPs against 1/1. And picking up the TB at 6-6*, he saved SPs at *6-7, 7-8* but not at *8-9.

 

Edit: Ah, Bob adds frustrating info from earlier in the TB.
