Eddie Herr winner Luke Bambridge returns to Florida courtesy of a wildcard and starts intriguingly against an ambidextrous opponent who claims to have started playing tennis at 15 (he is 16 now).

A reasonably comfortable starter for Luke, and the second round doesn't look problematic either.

Disappointing, but on reflection Kyle and Evan had better results than Luke on clay last year - though these faster green clay courts should have been more suited to Luke than the European red clay.
