I always like it when Ken and Neal play together. I call them the Skupskis. Not sure it will catch on...

 To be fair to JonH, he does have to get credit for that one smile

I guess it is much easier for me not to put my foot in it if I take the trouble to read the thread before posting. no

 great minds! Us Leeds fans clearly think alike!

Jamie and Neal have just lost the 1st set on a breaker. Key point was Jamie serving at *5-3. Had they won that point it would have been three SPs but after Jamie hit a strong 1st serve, Caruso completely framed the return and unfortunately it turned into a clean lob winner. Jamie and Neal didn't win another point and lost the breaker 7-5.

Edit

Should also perhaps add that Jamie had earlier served for the set at *5-3 but was broken.

*3-3 at the first turnaround. !st point of the MTB was a lucky net cord winner for Arnibaldi.

Super stuff in that passage of play and the guys are 8-4* up at the next turnaround.

From *9-5 up the guys get dragged back to *9-9. Anyone's match now.

At the risk of being called a nit-picker, Bob, I think its KrajIcek.  wink

Hoping you had the courage to put a couple of quid on that as Jamie/Neal do indeed run out winners in the MTB.
