Shelby Rogers leads Leylah Fernandez 6-5 on serve in the 3rd set.
Rogers had break points but it looks as though LF will hold and take it to a tie-breaker.

We are waiting Ladies for you to finish up so we can watch Andy Murray!

Tie-break ... Rogers serving first.
*1-0
1-1*

I might crash out ... rather a lot of birthday wine ...

Shelby takes the tie break and the match. So Andy very soon now if I can keep my eyes open, x

[RosieBear]

Well done Shelby. Lovely game style but can't warm to cocky Fernandez. Finally Andy time now!

[JAMES4578]

Quite an engaging final set when they both hit form in tight set, thought Fernandez was more likely to take it but a gutsy display from Rogers- well done!
