If Medvedev was to pull out now he would be replaced by a lucky loser, which would be Liams opponent for the QF.

Why is Medvedev likely to pull out?

He won the 500 event in Rotterdam yesterday. He may or may not travel to Doha - I personally think he will, especially with Dubai the following week.

Well done Andy and Liam - missed all the fun, sort of glad I did!

Thank you.

Unless Medvedev is carrying an injury, I'm sure he'll be there. He will have had all of yesterday to recover, today he will travel first or business class, tomorrow he will strech and hit, Thursday he'll play his first match against Liam. I don't hold much hope for Liam in this encounter, but at least he'll be on telly.

Liam play his doubles with Alex Z this morning. As a scratch pair playing with the help of a wildcard, they go into this match as underdogs. Suprising results do sometimes happen though!

Liam's bank manager will be pleased this week.

Im sure Med would be getting a decent appearance fee here as well.

A straight sets win once in a while would be nice.

Enjoying Evo's battling tennis - the Finn served for the set but Dan broke back out of nowhere...

Decent display overall and no harm done - good to play at this level with someone like Zverev
