Liam took his one breakpoint chance in the opening set to break for 3-1 and games went with serve thereafter so Liam takes the first set 6-3

Your grin must be as big a the Cheshire cat's, Bob

Great win for Liam

Great week for him and Billy,

Allez, les gars !

Enjoyed watching that. Just a pity not more folk there for a bigger challenger event.

Turned on just in time to see the MP. So pleased that Liam is protecting his early season points from last year. If he can maintain the fitness and form throughout the year, Top 100 must surely be on the cards.

Today's win should put him back inside the Top 130 and a win will bump that closer to the 120 mark. He is also in the low 60's for the race now. Oh for those 90 Wimbledon points he was denied.

Those 90 Wimbledon points would have him at 104 now. If only....

Yes, although some of those between his current ranking and the 104 mark may also have got points - I haven't checked.

Yes, It's just a rough guide. Liam is currently 124 points off the top 100 which would be cut of course if he can claim the title tomorrow. The fact he is in the 60's on the race shows just how well he is doing this season. He works so hard. Would love to see him finally crack the 100 mark.

Well done Liam. Thought this one might be closer, but no, pretty emphatic win.
