Liam *3-5

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Smyczek seals the first set 6-4 with and Ace.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Liam was a bit unlucky to get broken in the middle of that set in a game he was leading 40-15.

He played quite well, and more attacking than he often does.

Nice scheme of play today (and yesterday) of coming to the net off an outswinging lefty serve in the ad court - has paid dividends every time.

But then got a little overly confident about coming in and paid the price....

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Not seen much but Liam is now a break up at *2-0 in the 2nd and as CD says, he seems to be playing pretty well IMHO.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Spoke too soon as it is back to *2-2.

"This is sooo bad", from Liam. And they were his words, not mine at the end of the last game.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Bit if a deal killer to lose 4 games in a row from 2-0 up...... :(

Lost 6-4 6-3

But still, overall, playing quite well - I think that's why he was so cross at the end ....
