R2
Oliver Golding (GBR) v (5) Tiago Fernandes (BRA) (Q) Ashley Hewitt (GBR) v Peter Heller (GER)
The German has a WR of 21 and beat Ashley in 3 sets when they played in the European Junior Champs last year. He also hammered George Morgan in the Czech Junior Open final last September, but lost to Richard Gabb in the Trofeo Bonfiglio recently.
Ollie and Ashley are both in the doubles with different partners - Ashley with the American Dennis Novikov who lost out in Ashley's qualifying section (they take on the Brazilian 5th seeds Clezar/Fernandes) whilst Ollie plays with Russian Alexander Rumyantsev (against French wildcards Chettar and Escoffier, the latter seen recently against Josh Goodall in Edinburgh).

:p I wasn't worried when Ollie got broken - he was too dominant in the second set to let it slip away - but naturally it's not a good thing that Ollie was broken.
Tiago Fernandes next... a little birdie tells me that people have been talking *coughcough* about Tiago Fernandes... born in 1993.
Here's hoping Ollie knocks out the fifth seed.
