No354 playing on the baseline. Former number one 3 metres behind the baseline. Sinner doesn't smile much, he might be just now though.

[JAMES4578]

At least Andy got it done in the end but 2nd set should not have been so tight(was unable to view though) Hopefully steps it up against Sinner.

I watched on Bet365 with my account which I opened with £10 a few years ago. I still haven't had to place a bet!
