Liam plays 17 year old Marti next, he beat LL Niall Angus. I think Ashley Hewitt has a chance against Sadecky judging by the way they both played today, AWard could beat V-guzman too

Congratulations to Liam and James on their first ATP ranking points. Liam takes over from Olly as the youngest person to hold an ATP ranking point.

Would Broady be the youngest in GB to hold an ATP point or the youngest ATP ranked player in the world?

ROUND 1 ROUND-UP

L32: Dan Smethurst WR 825 lost to (1) Martin Fischer (AUT) WR 219 by 1 & 5 cry
L32: David Rice WR 812 beat Dan Cox WR 496 by 7-6(6) 6-7(5) 6-3 biggrinbleh
L32: Alexander Ward WR 971 beat Matthew Illingworth WR 691 by 5 & 5 biggrinbleh
L32: (WC) Neil Pauffley WR 1323 lost to (6) Andoni Vivanco-Guzman (ESP) WR 490 by 3 & 2 cry
L32: (LL) Niall Angus WR 1859 lost to Javier Marti (ESP) WR 723 by 3 & 4 cry
L32: (Q) Liam Broady UNR beat Duncan Mugabe (UGA) WR 869 by 2 & 3 biggrin
L32: (WC) Ashley Hewitt WR 1776 beat (Q) Tom Burn UNR by 1 & 3 smilecry
L32: (Q) Ben Pritchard WR 1405 lost to (8) Alexander Sadecky (SUI) WR 467 by 7-6(2) 7-6(12) cry
L32: (Q) Ashley Watling WR 1342 lost to (7) Benoit Paire (FRA) WR 548 by 2 & 3 cry
L32: (WC) James Chaudry UNR beat Sean Thornley WR 888 by 3 & 5 biggrinbleh
L32: Marcus Willis WR 722 beat (WC) Oliver Golding WR 1806 by 7-6(2) 6-4 smilecry
L32: Burnham Arlidge WR 861 lost to (3) Greg Jones (AUS) WR 348 by 3 & 4 cry
L32: (Q) Josh Milton WR 659 beat (5) Ignacio Coll-Riudavets (ESP) WR 428 by 4 & 4 biggrin
L32: (Q) Timothy Bradshaw WR 1078 lost to Adam Hubble (AUS) WR 824 by 6-2 5-7 6-4 cry
L32: (Q) George Coupland WR 1638 lost to (2) Robert Smeets (AUS) WR 363 by 1 & 4 cry

The highlight of the day has to be Josh Wilton's great win over Nacho Coll, Rafa's pre Wimby Final practice partner last year, while I didn't expect to see Fed's pre Wimby Final practice partner this year lost to Dr No, though it was a very close match.

I half-expected the Wardinator to upset Matt and Liam to beat Mugabe (though still an excellent win for Liam, who looked quite decent when I saw him and his doubles partner narrowly go down to the no. 1 seeds at Junior Wimbledon), but I certainly didn't expect James Chaudry to beat Thornley, that's quite a scalp for him!

Well done to Ben too for taking Sadecky to two tiebreaks - such a pity he didn't manage to edge the second one!

ROUND 2 DRAW

L16: David Rice WR 812 v (1) Martin Fischer (AUT) WR 219
L16: Alexander Ward WR 971 v (6) Andoni Vivanco-Guzman (ESP) WR 490
L16: (Q) Liam Broady UNR v Javier Marti (ESP) WR 723
L16: (WC) Ashley Hewitt WR 1776 v (8) Alexander Sadecky (SUI) WR 467
L16: (WC) James Chaudry UNR v (7) Benoit Paire (FRA) WR 548
L16: Marcus Willis WR 722 v (3) Greg Jones (AUS) WR 348
L16: (Q) Josh Milton WR 659 v Adam Hubble (AUS) WR 824 - winner to play (2) Robert Smeets (AUS) WR 363 or Kaden Hensel (AUS) WR 670

All but one of the R2 matches involve Brits, but only Josh Milton is the higher-ranked player in his match and only Meatball is ranked less than 400 places below his opponent, and even then only just. I wonder if any of them will manage to pull off a big upset tomorrow ...

Certainly the former and probably the latter. When Olly gained his point his local paper ran a story claiming he was the youngest player ever to be gain an ATP ranking. This is false (Rafa for example was in the top 1000 by Olly's age, and Liam's current age of 15 yrs 6mths). However I have checked the most likely 1994 births, and none of those has a ranking point, so I guess he will be the youngest in the world currently.

Either way fantastic to have 2 British boys at 15 years with ATP points. Well done to both.

Ashley won a round in the last home Futures (F7 - Newcastle) to gain his first ranking point (same tournament that Olly won his first at)

Historically, it's not exceptional - since the turn of the century, three players (Rafa, Dammit and, last year, Ryan Harrison) have won a main draw match in a main tour event before their 16th birthday, but at the end of last year, there was only one 15-year-old in the rankings (Ciprian Alexandru Porumb of Romania WR 1665), so Liam may well be the youngest player in the rankings at the moment. biggrin
