Really enjoyed the men's matches, some good quality grass court players on show. Bozo v Navarro and Boggo v Ram were the best quality out of what I saw imo.

The Wardinator's game is really made for grass, big serve and solid compact groundstokes. De Heart though basically gave him a break in each set though at 5-5 in the first set and 5-6 in the third set with some bad errors.

Goodall v Ward was pretty poor I though, a lot of errors. Goodall really should of won, if he played half as well as he did last year he would have. I'm still struggling to see what the deal is with Wardy I'm afraid.

Slabba's match could have gone either way from the little I saw of it, but he started to get really annoyed about some line calls (I did see an exceptionally bad one earlier) and Mannarino pulled away in the third set.

I didn't watch any of the first set of Willis' match but one of the British Tour players commented he was playing exceptionally. He took a toilet break at the end of the set and started to play some good stuff and I think went a break up (but that might have been the scoreboard being wrong) but it never really felt like he was going to win. Willis seemed to be trying to bring Ilhan forward as much as possible with drop shots. Ilhan was just a solid all-round player with no special shots but no apparent weakness.

Boggo had the task of taking on Ram who must have served about 70% first serves in and came in off most. I don't think there was any break points first set, every time Boggo got a sniff Ram would just come up with a massive ace. Boggo lost his serve first point of the tie-break after a shot clipped the net and he could re-adjust his body to hit his forehand properly. It was all on serve to the end with Ram serving two aces to finish. Second set looked like it was carrying on in the same vain but Boggo got a break point mid-way through, Ram serve and volleyed but Boggo hit a running forehand pass winner. I'm not sure there was a break point until the 11th game of the third set where Boggo got 0-40 (missed volley and double fault to start from Ram, can't remember the third point). First break point Ram hits a massive second serve, return goes long. Second break point, ace down the T. Third break point Ram serves past Boggo out wide "come on" says Ram "let" says the umpire. Ram recomposes himself and sends an ace down the T instead. At deuce Ram is made to play a tough low volley which gives Boggo an easy backhand pass attempt which he makes. Fourth break point...and this time Boggo squezes a forehand pass down the line. Ram looks very deflated and Boggo serves out to love. Leon Smith was watching this and Slabba's match but watched the whole of Boggo's final set.

Elsewhere Ebden deservably beat Clement, who seemed way to passive and as usual was shouting at anyone who dared flinch in the crowd. The top half looks a lot weaker now and the winner of Anderson and Berankis could well come through and take the title.

In the bottom half Bozo was involved a good quality match with Navarro, but Bozo's superior skills off the ground shone through. Bozo is effortlessly cool and volatile at the same time, and has become one of my favourite players. Dent looks like he could do with losing a couple of stone, but his serve was easily the biggest on show and should be in a quarter-final match with Bozo which could decide the winner. Court 8 is basically a practice court right on the other side of the centre so I didn't see what Soeda was like, and I only saw the end of Turnunov's match so I couldn't really tell what shape he is in, but obviously he should be a ridicously dangerous floater.
