Josh lost 6-1 3-6 6-3 cry

- a real pity, when he looked to be getting back into it, and I should think he's pretty annoyed that Jamie Baker got the last main draw WC ahead of him when he (Josh) is higher-ranked, better on grass and has proved he can hold his own against the higher-level players by qualifying for two grand slams last year.

Iain Atkinson lost to Nielsen 2 & 0 - a really dire result compared with the fights some of the other Brits are putting up. cry

Slabba lost the 1st set to Melo 6-2 cry making me wish one of the other Brits had been that lucky with the draw, i.e. one who might actually have been capable of taking advantage of it. Not over yet though smile

thanks for the updates steven !

Melo dfs to give Slabba a bp to get one of the breaks back. Too little too late probably, but the fat lady hasn't opened her mouth quite yet.

steven · Tennis legend

Ward breaks Evans for *4-3

steven · Tennis legend

Slabba fails to convert the bp but now has another one.

steven · Tennis legend

Melo saves it, but Slabba gets another one!

steven · Tennis legend

Slabba fails to convert again cry and Melo wins 6-2 1-6 6-1 cry - at least he took a set, but I'm afraid I really do wish a slightly stronger Brit had got that nice draw.
