Liam will be happier with that - and not terrible for Billy either in an ATP125

Just Liam's luck!
All change in the main draw: Humbert now plays a qualifier, while Liam is promoted to ninth seed:
L32: Maxime Cressy (USA) WR 126 (CH = 31 last August) vs (9) Liam Broady WR 104
Not sure how much of an improvement that is.
L32: Qualifier/lucky loser vs (9) Liam Broady WR 103

Humbert now replaced by a LL. The top 1/4 no longer has a seed.

Liam delivers a Bagel in the 1st set. Good start.

Was going to say that in the end, maybe would have been better for Liam to have stayed where he was in the draw, but in his quarter, he has 2 qualifiers and 2 WCs. So not much difference really.

Not so strong in the 2nd set having gone a break behind. But has just broken back for *3-3.

Edit

Only to get broken again. 3-4*

One set all. Not in the plan Liam. Time to put the squeeze back on.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Great defensive work from Liam sets up 2 Bps but he only needs as Added goes long.

Serving for the match at *5-4

L32: (9) Liam Broady WR 103 defeated (Q) Dan Added (FRA) WR 266 by 6-0 3-6 6-4

Gosh, that was not for the faint-hearted - those three BPs Liam saved in the middle of the set when Dan had all the momentum were sheer gold

But he got there....

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

One step closer.

L32: (ALT) Harold Mayot (FRA) WR 174 defeated (Q) Billy Harris WR 308 by 6-3 4-6 6-2 hmm

One more win for Liam and he will be live 100 (overtaking Husler?) and then it will depend on further progress and other players results. Is that correct?

He will actually be Live 99 as he will overtake Garin as well. However, Garin is still playing this week, so that may change as he plays a WC ranked about 900.
