Jack clearly not satisfied with taking out the Nº2 seed last week, decided to up his game and take out the top seed this week. Well played sir. As for Paul, he just keeps rolling on right now. Great fight to come through a 3rd set breaker.

Over to you Sam. *1-3 down in the 3rd but still in with a shout.

Watching how Jack pushed people back with his forehand at Wimbledon, I can completely see how his game translates to clay pretty well.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Super hat-trick from the three Brits.

Nuffield reporting that this is Paul's 20th singles match in 20 days.

Great for Samm to follow up his 'big' win yesterday.

And little Jack's result is a stormer

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, great stuff.

Jack takes out (2) WR 510 one week and (1) WR 454 the next. A big thing for me at his age and a bit older is what is his top level, and that's clearly very good. Consistency can follow.

And Paul moves on to 19-1 in these 20 days. This is getting Gabiesquen though even she wasn't doing it practically every day
