Richard will be trying to get Andy Murray's revenge in rd1 here. They play 2nd on court 1.
The grass at Nottingham will suit Richard a lot as the courts are really fast and suit big servers. In the past though, Richard hasn't enjoyed the best of success on the Nottingham grass. Last year, he lost to Vacek in rd1 of the challenger and in qualifying for the ATP event he lost in rd2 to India's Harsh Mankad. In 2004, Richard lost in qualifying for the Nottingham Challenger and in 2003 he lost in rd1 of ATP Nottingham qualies to Morocco's Hicham Arazi.

Tight 1st there, Bloomers got broken at 4-4. Apart from that one game he's been holding quite easily, hasn't been able to put much pressure on Tippy though.
10 aces so far for Bloomers, 82% points won on 1st serve and 40% on 2nd serve. The only difference between the two has been that Tippy has so far won 23% more points on his 2nd serve
