Dang - couldn't follow the detail of the last set, sadly, but feels like an opportunity gone begging.

It's a pity that he lost such a long competitive match. But, having won that 2nd set TB and apparently having no BPs in the third set ( with Berrettini taking 1 of his 2 ) I'm not sure that I'd describe it as an opportunity gone begging.

Overall, looks a couple of decent matches this week with one good looking win.

I was thinking after the first set, he had a point to go 5-1 up in that set, shouldnt really have lost it from there. I think that was the big missed opportunity for him!

Good stuff, back on the bike. Doumbia and Reboul had a lot riding on that match and Lloyd and Julian bolster their top spot in the Race.

4 of the top 5 race teams left in the last 8 here, strong field!

Got to hope all 3 pairs with Brits in can get through the last 8 matches tomorrow. Pavic and Arevalo are, of course, in the other one at the top of the draw.
