Mackin about to serve to stay in the match at 36 64 45 down, Aucks a minibreak down in the third set tiebreak...the next 10mins could be bad news for British tennis, hopefully not though...
15-0 second serve...15-15 (28%) 15-30 (Aucks saves the first of 4 match points) 15-40, Mackin faces two match points. (Aucks saves the second match point) 30-40, Mackin saves the first match point
GSM Jenkins. It was soo close. I'm pretty sure that second serve points won stat is what killed it for Mackin, 28% is simply not good enough to win matches in ATP qualies.
Darn, as I typed, Aucks loses as well. Not a good few minutes there. In fact, terrible.

I've heard of sychronised swimming, but here's a new gold medal sport for the Brits - SYNCHRONISED LOSING
Seriously, what a nightmare - it strikes me that Alan should have won easily, and for Aucks to capitulate in the tiebreak after all that effort - very sad
