Looks like Olly's serve collapsed under Josh's pressure - just 39% of points won behing first serve and 8 doubles

The mens event is quite a weird draw, lots of youngsters. Good to see them having a go though. I don't remember if Nottingham used to be like this?

actually seems like the dubs specialists qualify draw. but with 12 pts on offer for a qualifier that's not a bad offering

Is it just my imagination, or is the women's draw about 10 times stronger than the men's? The top seed in the men's qualies is Vinny, who has a world ranking of 98, while the women's are headed by Maria José Martínez Sánchez, who's the world N° 37, and there are no byes! confuse

I suppose, in mitigation, it could be pointed out that the women's tournament is a well-established event, while the men have never played at Devonshire Park before (my memory's failing me & I'm too bloody lazy to check: is the ATP event the official replacement for Nottingham/somewhere else?)...

Liam's first win over a top 100 junior - albeit not in a junior event!

Yes, it is the replacement for Nottingham, and the women's event is always miles stronger this week - especially the qualies as a lot of men don't enter knowing they will be out of Wimbledon qualies if they qualify here. For the women although the same applies, at least they are playing top players in a Premier event if they do qualify.
