[Sallydaisy]

Dan Evans has withdrawn from Lyon

[suttontennis]

Lyon wc are Thiem, Tsitsipas, Moutet for main draw, and Musetti and Jacquet wc for qualies.

[exislander]

Liam playing Q1 in Lyon, won 1st set was a break up in 2nd. Venting loudly about net cords and aces more out than in when he has had break points. Now 5-5.

[Sallydaisy]

Liam into a tie-break , on serve.
2-3
*2-4
*2-5 not going well

[Sallydaisy]

1 set all. Liam has to regroup big time

[exislander]

Into a 3rd set Liam won 3 of 15 break points in that 2nd set.

Match suspended, covers on.

[Sallydaisy]

Liam lost. 4-6 in the 3rd set
:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Too bad, pity Liam did not take chances in the 2nd.

Inglot/Bambridge are in the doubles.
Prime Video is not covering Geneva, not sure about TennisTV?

Singles Draw:
https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/geneva/322/draws

With RF playing Tennis TV will be covering Geneva, at least singles if not doubles.

[Sallydaisy]

Cameron Norrie vs Corentin Moutet starts shortly in Lyon.
Unfortunately it appears this court isn't being televised.

[Sallydaisy]

Confirmation that ATP Geneva is definitely not on Prime Video this week
and will be available on Tennis TV only.

[exislander]

Andujar beats Federer 6-4 4-6 6-4 in a close match.

[clancy]

Fed out of Geneva, beaten by Andujar!
Will the folk who feel it's time for Andy to retire now make the same comments to Serena and Roger?

[Teresa]

That’s brightened my day. Personally I will be delighted when Feddykins retires, and I have never been a fan of Serena either. Her behaviour towards umpires is appalling.

[Sallydaisy]

Lyon OOP, Wed 19th May: https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/lyon/7694/daily-schedule
Looks to be mopping up R32 and some bottom half R16 matches.

Cameron Norrie is the last remaining Brit, likely to play Thiem tomorrow in their QF match.

[Sallydaisy]

Geneva OOP, Wed 19th May: https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/geneva/322/daily-schedule
No British interest here ...
:sad:

[cazza99]

Cameron vs Rinderknech resumes at 10.00 am.

[Sallydaisy]

LYON: 1st SF.
Musetti has taken the first set 6'4 but Tsitsipas is 4-1 up in the 2nd.
Looks as though we'll be going to 3 sets.
Not expecting Norrie v Khachanov to be on court until around 3.15/30pm

[Sallydaisy]

Hold the front page ...

Musetti has taken the first set 6'4 but Tsitsipas is 4-1 up in the 2nd.
Looks as though we'll be going to 3 sets.
:hmm:

Musetti held for 2-4 then broke Tsitsipas so it's all on serve again in the 2nd set.
The Italian will be serving at *3-4 after the change of ends.

[JAMES4578]

Musetti put Tsitsipas under pressure but Stefanos worked it out and ran away with it in the end 4-6,6-3,6-0.

[themass15]

So pleased Stef won but Musetti is defo one to watch in more ways than one

[cazza99]

oop for Sunday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/lyon/7694/daily-schedule?day=8

Cameron vs Tsitsipas not before 1.00 pm UK time
