A really tough rd1 match for Richard against the veteran Czech 25th seed.

Zib is ranked 139 but this time last year he was 51 in the world. He has beaten Henman in the past indoors but is most at home on clay.

In Jan and early Feb he reached 2 challenger finals but since then he's been on a very bad run, winning only a handful of matches.

Last week he had his best result for several months, reaching the quarters of the Bronx challenger.

I'd give Richard a chance of an upset if he was playing well but he's also been struggling and so I think it might be unfortunately Zib in 2.

This match is 2nd on court 17 today, starting between 5.30 and 6pm GMT.

Hope Richard can cause an upset, it'd be great to have 2 Brits in rd2 !

Opportunity missed there but I've a feeling that Zib came up with a big serve on break point, it went by so quickly

Great hold there from Richard, so often you see players lose concentration and get broken after missing bps especially in tight matches
