Good tournament choice from Jonny presuming he gets into doubles. Good points there and the money is more respectable at this level. If he can make the main draw of singles as well, the qualifying pts are worthwhile alone whilst the prize money for just the first round should ensure the trip dosen't cost him money.

Good for Jonny to get the win but the stats don't look too impressive from the match and it would be a big surprise to see him beat Dimitrov in round two.

Dimitrov had a very easy passage to round two with him dropping just 2 points on serve (both double faults) and his opponent serving at 31%.

I'd expect Dimitrov to get the win over Jonny in straight sets.

... 2nd serve ... and that'll be that then, Dimitrov won 3 & 1

Navarro and Vicente are good singles players, might be tight

Auckland/Marray playing their first round match at the moment.

They lead 6-3, 5-5, having saved all 9 break points they've faced, and taken their only break point chance!!!

Saved 9 out of 9 break points, won 2 out of 2.......incredible!

What a team. Next up will be Kavcic and Zemlja, a pair from Slovakia. Fourth seeds already out.

Playing again tomorrow.

The match is now up on the LS.   & !

The top seeds, who would have been Aucks' & Jonny's opponents in the SF (assuming they beat the Slovenes - not Slovaks, h!  ), are also out, beaten, or rather thrashed, 3 & 0 by Nicolas Mahut & ERV!
