Darn it. Nishikori breaks.

Nishikori has 3 break points.... 1 saved, but the 2nd is taken, and Nishikori will serve for the match

Spadea holds for 4-4, but Eaton got to deuce that time

freerider · Futures level

eaton had a break point on one of the deuces

Cox gets to 15-30.... best chance he's had all match

Smidster · Challenger level

Dan loses 6-3 7-5

To be honest I think that is a creditable performance and is much closer than I was expecting

He will now at least be able to play in qualifying

Nishikori wins 6-3, 7-5

Good effort from Cox and he did better than I was expecting him to, but never got a look at Nishikori's serve.

Off to Wimbledon now for him with some confidence, and hopefully he can get a nice draw and win a round.

That was a good show against a very good player. Keep it up, Dan, you'll get there soon.

Shame for Chris but again it now means he cam have a go at qualifying

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Spadea wins 6-3, 7-5

Looks like Eaton didn't quite serve as well as he could have done, but a creditable effort from him, and he could do some damage at Wimbledon qualifying.

So it's Groth, Nishikori, Spadea, Falla and Bogdanovic who come through qualifying
