Not seen to much of Tiafoe saw a bit v Dan but he's playing at a very high level right now! Great watch other than Cam losing.

Tiafoe's back story is good - his Dad was an immigrant (illegal, not sure) and got a job working as a caretaker at the local tennis facility, They basically asked him to run it top to bottom. The family lived there in an apartment that came with the job and Frances learnt to play tennis there and got good at it and etc etc

Not sure if all detail is correct but basically it is!

Cam saving the 0-40 was an epic! Tiafoe twice just about missing the half volley into the empty court!

Borges is looking too solid for Billy. I actually think Borges is one too follow, not a typical grass player but coming through well as a talented player

Probably why he decided to play silly buggers & go off court to change his kit, thereby taking a bit of the wind out of Cam's sails!  furious

 For about 10 minutes! Ridiculous that you can take that long!

Cam deserved that in the end too many mistakes from Tiafoe.

A minor observation. When the ball is called out there is no reason to ask for a replay because the system that called it out will just show the call it made however I have also noticed that the BBC don't bother showing replays from their camera angle either.
