By a mile, I would think. Just a shame there are no ranking points on offer.

Listen out for the little nervous grunt as the third ball of the rally lands just inside the baseline.

Good article here on Novak, good to see him getting some decent press, we all too often have downers on him and his personality, me very much included

Mens singles last 16 - Spain, Germany, France and Russia all with 2 players. Top 4 seeds all left but Liam has probably got the best quarter to be in - rank outsider still of course, but what a chance!

[1] Djokovic-[16] Davidovich-Fokina
Ivashka-Nishikori

[4] Zverev-Basilashvili
Chardy-Broady

[8] Schwartzman-[12] Khachanov
[14] Humbert-[3] Tsitsipas

[6] Carreño-Busta-Koepfer
[15] Fognini-[2] Medvedev

Great result for Liam. Would it be sacrilege to say wish Joe and Neal had played the doubles together?

No it wouldnt butI still think Andy is our top doubles player overall and he and Joe make a good pair. Plus Joe picked Andy.

id much rather Neal and Dan had been able to play, than Jamie..
