Jake missed an overhead (as in missed the ball!!) at the net on match point 40-15. Couple double faults later and now he has been broken, nooooooo

Ballboy needs sacking. Fancy laughing in the face of a player after that.

Finally!

L128:  (LL) Jacob Fearnley WR 101 defeated Martín Landaluce (ESP) WR 65 by 4-6 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-3 in four hours & 10 minutes   ban-woohoo.gif

Jake's middle name must be Houdini after Landaluce served for the match at 5-2 in the fourth!   Then Jake served a double fault twice when he was serving for the match at 5-1 in the fifth!

*****

L64:  (27) Tomás Martín Etcheverry (ARG) WR 32 (CH = 25 in May) vs (LL) Jacob Fearnley WR 101

Thank Lord for that - he would have had nightmares about that for years otherwise

Mind you, Landaluce will have nightmares about leading 5-2 and failing to close it out

Great job by our Lucky Loser

Great win for Jake, really pleased. The double faults continue to be a big concern, right now who cares!

And again. And again. And again. And eventually wins the game to win the set.

 Weren't they brilliant? 

You've got to laugh 

There he is, playing percentage tennis, moving the ball around, and suddenly he decides to go for broke on the return game, nothing to lose

Gosh Harry looks so slight - apparently only 67kg; not many players under 70kg on tour and still fewer that are 5'10 at the same time. Not that it's held him back so far :)

Semi-interview with Arthur in tomorrow's Times.  The archive site still won't reproduce the full text, so behind a paywall & thus available to subscribers only, I'm afraid.
