Crikey - I was thinking I'd take the lad for a bit of tennis on Saturday only to find all weekend tickets totally sold out! Can't be many countries where that happens at Challenger level...

Umpire was never going to over rule that from where they were sat. It's just a bad error unfortunately.

I really enjoyed visiting Surbiton for the first time last night. Only £5 entry after 4pm is a bargain. I got a picture with Nick Krygios, saw Lleyton Hewitt, was in the food queue next to Dan Evans etc. How close you can get to the players was amazing. I would definitely head back there.

I thought Jay was pretty defensive and most of his shots were fairly close to the service line, compared to Bolt hitting with more power towards the baseline. The score could have been worse if Bolt had not missed some horrendous finishing shots at the net. Credit to Jay for making him play one more shot, but some of his volleys were terrible. Jay served a cracking first serve after that controversial double fault but Bolt made a great return. Jay won an amazing rally in the last game of the match to get back to 30-30, but couldn't break back. Overall Bolt getting far more cheap points on his big lefty swinging serve.

There were so many aussies there, almost seemed like they were the home crowd. Marc Polmans sat immediately behind me and was chatting to a friend (another aussie player I think) about a wide variety of things which was really interesting. Firstly his loss to Jurgen Melzer (very close match to a former world no.8) and then more widely about other challenger events, where he was staying, what his future tournament plans were...how much he hated clay court players etc!

Fritz leads 2-1* in the 2nd despite facing 6 BPs already in this set.  Lloyd yet to face a BP in the match.

Liam leads 6-5* and survived a BP in that last game despite a ridiculous net cord for Chardy at a crucial moment.

Oh silly me.  Why do I post things like that.  Lloyd is broken in the next game.

What a shame. Chardy takes a 1st set breaker against Liam 12-10.

Edit

Should add that Chardy benefitted from another net cord with Liam serving at *4-4 in that TB.  On such fine margins ........

Pity for Lloyd and looks a very good effort against such a highly ranked player. But you do get very tough draws and Lloyd has managed so little elsewhere this year.

Good serving rescues a spot of bother from *0-30.

6-4 5-5*
