Huge fight from Wardy.

livestream.com/ATP/events/8247308

Down a set and a break, Polman's served for the match at *5-4 but Wardy broke to love (helped by consecutive DFs from 0-30 to be fair). Then in the TB, James is 0-4 down but still comes back to take it with some stunning tennis.

So into a decider we go.

Nervous???

How good was that !

And weren't the crowd brilliant?

I just love the person shouting 'come on, James' after each and every point - practically single-handedly pulled Wardy over the finish line.

Just huge smiles.

Live rankings seem to have lost the Nottingham MD points completely. Wardy still showing at 406 and not playing, whilst Evo is back down to the 500s.

I just loaded it and it says WR386 109 points and in R16. That win makes 124 points, which is WR360
