Nice one, Willis.

Cox gets yet another comeback win. Hopefully he won't be too tired for the rest of the week.

Interesting results - Very good wins for Marcus and Josh.

British interest in all 4 quarters but not seeded for any semi-finalists. Lets hope they can do better than that!

I cut and pasted the results from the ITF site which includes a link to all of the players profiles. When I tried to submit the post it came up saying that it needed aproval from an administrator. Presumably this was because of the large number of links. I then re posted the results without the links.

Sadly it looks like Ilkley and Frinton were just a blip and that Josh's rotten year continues.

You have to assume that what every injury problem he had last week wasn't too bad since he played singles and doubles this week.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, Josh could do with getting back closer to the better form he had been showing to help keep his wallet fairly healthy, given it's not gone so good since he tweeted the day before last week's Dublin 1st round :

"My legs are skinny but my wallet aint thin, Everytime I bust a smile its a big money grin,& I cnt stop grinning cause I dont stop winning"

johnnylad · Tennis legend

to be fair he was probably 6-3 5-5 before it all went wrong so it's not that bad - plus Milton is no mug - gets everything back

indiana · Tennis legend

Milton may be no mug, but he does not have at all good recent form and has fallen to WR 741. A Goodall anywhere near his best should be a clear winner in this match-up.

Maybe he was still hindered by some slight injury problems / injury reoccurence if injury was the issue in his retiral last week, but as was pointed out he has entered both singles and doubles here.

On the other hand, it's a welcome win for Milton and would be great if having fallen so far down he begins to follow Dan Cox, albeit I doubt so dramatically, and climb back up the rankings.

Outstanding doubles results:

(3) Tim Bradshaw & Colin Ebelthite (AUS) WR 1057 defeated (WC) Tim Patient & Stefan Sterland-Markovic UNR by 3-6 6-3 [10-6]
(WC) James Chaudry & George Coupland UNR defeated (4) Maniel Bains & Marcus Willis WR 1163 by 5-7 7-5 [11-9]

Intriguing quarter final line-up with each QF having a representative of a quite often malligned GB generation pitted against higher ranked players. There were some particular good wins in round 2, what can they do in the QFs ?

Marcus WILLIS (GBR) WR 632 vs Colin EBELTHITE (AUS) WR 525
Daniel COX (GBR) WR 626 vs (4) Miloslav MECIR (SVK) WR 404
Joshua MILTON WR 741 vs (8) Vishnu VARDHAN (IND) WR 449
(7) David RICE (GBR) WR 499 vs (2) Laurent ROCHETTE (FRA) WR 279
