Another superb win for Konta against Stephens after losing first set. Dan Evens is a clever tennis player and is in control against Sousa. A set and a break.

Well you jinxed that!
Sousa wins 3 games in a row and Evans is having to save three set points on serve.

Guilty as charged but at least Dan has the break in the 3rd.

I don't like this Andy Murray comeback, is it just about the money? He can pull a crowd so they stick him on at end of the day so the punters stick around buying drinks or whatever. Comeback properly or just quit, don't be some circus act for a pay day

Pretty sure that given how much money he's made from tennis in his life, that he hasn't come back for a pay day

Just like David Beckham, Andy Murray will make as much if not more money when he retires. I don't think you understand what made Andy Murray a 3 times Grand slam winner, Olympic champion and Davis cup winner.
Ps. You have won your bet by being quoted 3 times. Well done.
Out of interest what does everyone make of Johanna Konta's "nationality". Didnt really bother me at the time but recently googling her I just think it's weird.
Born in Australia to Hungarian parents. Lived (and first taught/coached as a tennis player) in Oz until age 14. Moved to Eastbourne (?!) with parents & still played under the Australian flag. Aged 21 became a British citizen ( when her mum & dad did) & now plays under our flag.
One reason she gave for playing under the British flag was because the UK was where she was "brought up". I would have thought her formative years & where she learnt to play the sport was where she was "brought up".......not just a place her parent decided to live.
Nothing against her but just not sure I can really call her "one of our own"

Not a complete Brit, but more of a Brit than the likes of Rusedski (or Cameron Norrie, Chris Froome or various cricketers)
I was really glad that when we finally got a men's champion, it was someone who was genuinely British, someone who learned to play in this country. To me it made the achievement sweeter

More of a Brit than Norrie and Froome?
Both were born to British parents (Froome's Father played Hockey at U19 level for England)
I'd class them as more British than Konta as they've got lineage rather than application

Lack of mental strength when needed.
Unless Evans starts holding his serve he's going home.
