I think Billy did really well to stay in the match for so long. Maybe his level was a tiny bit from the previous ffew days. Purcell was very solid, apart from when her lost serve at the end of the second set.
Billy will take plenty of positives, and he can have some beers tonight and chill out for a while. More high intensity tennis for him next week!

Really enjoyed watching that (despite the result). Billy couldn't quite get the win, but he made Purcell work very hard. An excellent week (and month!) for him. I hope he's able to show what he's capable of at Wimbledon for the money, the points and so the wider public get to know and appreciate him the way we do!
