Now it's Foggy's turn to have an MTO - receiving treatment to his left ankle.

Can someone please tell me why my livestream runs like a dream during the MTOs but breaks up completely as soon as they start playing. So frustrating.

Sorry, Bob.  Can't help there.  I'm watching it on ITV4.  wink

Kyle takes the third set by 6-3 to move into the lead for the first time.

One of the things that always frustrates me at RG is that we are on middle Saturday, classic clay court match up on a show court and the stadium seems less than half full.

 The Kvitova/Kontaveit match seems fairly full. 

But that's my point - "Fairly full".  For both centre court and court 1 at Wimbledon on the middle Saturday, you could fill the stadiums 50 times over with number of people applying for tickets.  I understand that in the 1st 30 mins etc, the stadiums are still filling up as people come into the venue, but we are now mid way through the 3rd set.  They should be packed out.

 If the world was fair and equal yes. But it isn't so...it's the way it will be. And yes, particularly annoying when Wimbledon has the archaic/traditional (as applicable) ballot system.

Me too.  My IPTV system allows me to take UK TV anywhere in the world - allegedly.  But it is reliant on a good internet connection.  Sadly, that is not the case here particularly at weekends when everyone goes online and my connection struggles.  Eurosport won't connect at all.  ITV4 is giving me some coverage but is typically about a game and a half behind due to all the stop start connection, and then suddenly jumps forwards and I miss an entire game.

As long as Kyle wins, I guess I can cope.

Well, The Fog is back in this set, 3-0* up. So unless he wanders again, it's gonna go 5.

Indeed.  Not looking too clever in the fourth set at the moment, though:  1-3*.  What an up-and-down match!

P.S.  Have to confess that I had no idea what an IPTV system was....

I don't know much more about it myself.  But it basically downloads livestreams of all TV channels to the IP address of your router.

Meanwhile, Kyle breaks back for *2-3

All that debate about Kyle being seeded 16...

Fabio is a tough customer. Kyle was pretty good to take it to 5.

Given Fognini's clay court credentials (he beat Murray on this surface quite comprehensively not that long ago, and has beaten Nadal et al as well over the years) that's not bad effort at all. A shame he couldn't get past but not to be.

A missed opportunity .

Too many unforced errors in the 5th set when Fognini was struggling.

To run Foggy that close was pretty good. A point here or there and it might have been a different story.
