This is generally hard going but Dan breaks again to lead *4-3 in the third. Good point to get the break though.

Dimitrov and Fucsovics heading towards 5 hours. Hats off to Dimi, after he was laid low by Covid, I wouldnt have expected this fight, he was laid quite low with it

Dans forehand seems to be his weaker side. More mistakes for sure on the balls that Moutet drops dead

 Me too although worried that by the time this gets towards a conclusion, Andy might be starting and I will get completely sucked in!

As I write this it is starting to rain......

Hopefully the enforced break will help Dan put together a game plan to win the game. Shame not to be able to watch it till conclusion was a very good contest.

 Just looked at weather forecast and it doesnt look like its going to be getting any better any time soon. Obviously not an issue for Andy playing under the roof.

 Its a good job it wasnt Stircrazy that found the Rosetta stone, nor was tasked with deciphering the enigma code or hieroglyphs.  If aliens ever try to make first contact and he recieves the message, they may soon move on to another planet with a nothing to see here attitude.  The movie First Contact would have fizzled out after the first scene.  Although, thinking about it further, thats probably not such a bad thing ???
