Enjoying the changing guesses - I assume they are Scottish then

Yep - sorry, I changed it so quickly I thought I might have snuck in under the radar - but no smile

Exactly - Scottish accent - one guess as good as another....bit random....with apologies to all Scots biggrin

Lost the first, very chatty with his box. Almost no serve/volley so far.

4-6 1-1*

Break for Dan in game 5. Breaks for Moutet in games 6 and 10.

Jajon · Strong Club Player

Moutet is a bit whiny huh? Either way its genuinely an enjoyable match to watch so far

GBJ · Club Coach

Dan broke for 2-1 then saved a couple of bps before losing serve for 2-2

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Moutet served for it at 5-3 but Dan's now at 5-5

Dan hanging in a bit, getting the run around, but he's a fighter....he likes the scrap

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Well, you obviously don't get warnings for bad language in Spain, not if it's in French, at any rate.

Dear ol' drama queen, Moutet, letting off a bit of steam...

What happened to Fognini, his opponent was awarded the match, at 1 set down and 4 all in the second set.

Is that the term for defaulted (by Fog obviously) nowadays?

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Dan is in a real battle, currently a break down in the decider but has BPs. The match will pass the 3 hour mark.

Nadal has lost the first set v. Ivashka. Weird goings on in Barca!

Defaulted due to verbal abuse apparently, so Jose morgado reports

indiana · Tennis legend

Dan broke in game 3 but has been broken twice and has had a load of unconverted BPs in games 1 and 5 ( converted 1/9 in the set ) so somehow *1-4

indiana · Tennis legend

Ha, make that Dan has converted 2/10 BPs in this set.

*3-4

Hold please.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

THere is a LOT of bad feeling in this match .........

Over 3 hours now. Hope dan has the stamina
