Anton, if you care, the guy's coach is saying: make the return, any return, don't care, just make the return

He thinks Anton will make a mistake if the ball comes back

(I think he might be French)

But that was his only advice during the first set

And Anton is now 5-2 up in the second!

Anton served out the second set 6-3.

Great to see Billy through so comfortably - conserving energy could be important later in the week!

Now then, what can Danny boy do against this young Bolivian. Are there sparks of life in the old dog yet, or does it all end here on the Roehampton lawns?

Billy completely outclassed his opponent - as indicated by rankings
The Italian was not impressed with Billy saying 'come on' after his DF
But he should just concentrate on playing better realky

Oh no - having played so well, Anton threw in a super sloppy game with a double fault, and two missed forehands.

The Japanese seed is now 4-2 up in the decider
