The 8 points (net 5) for a R1 win will have Liam close to getting back into the top 200 for the first time in over 2 years. Looks though like he needs at least one more win here for that.
Liam fighting incredibly hard to hang in here. Lost first set to Bagnis 6-3, and trailed 3-1 in second, managed to stave off 3 break points at 2-4 down, and then broke first time he had really got into Bagnis' serve in 2nd set.
Has just won a marathon 11th game with probably 7 or 8 deuces to go 6-5 up.
