Rae & Fleming also won. Not sure who they'll play next? Haven't managed to find the draws yet on the CWG website (-:.

Stacey Roheman & Alberton Richelieu (LCA - I think that's St Lucia) or the Indian second seeds, Sania Mirza & Leander Paes, so I imagine the latter...

Tim, I had the same problem with the draws, but then, surprise, surprise, I found that the LTA site had come up trumps!

Huh, that's a pretty naff draw considering some of the other options they could have had (-:.  Tks for the info on the draws.

 

Hutch won 6-2 7-6(3) to set up an all-GB R2 meeting with (8) Josh Milton.

Flembo recovered from a 1st set loss to Chris Lewis from Wales to win 5-7 7-5 6-1 - he and Hutch are bigging that one up perhaps a little too much given that Lewis is unranked LOL, though of course Lewis has been top 500 so was never going to be a pushover and Colin is unranked in singles too now, though I still don't think of his as an unranked player!

RH: "Good day so far, won singles 6-2 7-6..now at #CWG squash arena watching great battle of the English..amazing watching live..they r class"

CF: "Won my singles today...turned into a survival of the fittest and today that was me! Proud moment. Onwards the Brave..."

CF: "@RoscoHutchins really strong singles win from you! I outlasted the LewBurger in 3. So strong."

RH: "Such a hugggeeee effort from @colinfleming this guy is a warrior!! Very proud of him..great fight..let's get more like him in tennis"

Jamie Murray has just beating Carey (BAH) 2 & 5 to set up a meeting with Wardy in R2.

Guernsey's Ogier lost 3 & 2 to (3) Ebden (AUS) - did well to avoid bakery!

Flembo could end up playing another Lewis (Haydn Lewis from Barbados) but wull probably face (6) Rubin Statham (NZL) WR 353 - that won't be decided until the evening session.

Hutch beat Aqeel Khan who has a career high rank of 349.  So a pretty good win really.

From the LTA site:

The British girls were in imperious form, with 18 year old Heather Watson, representing Guernsey, leading the way, winning 6-0, 6-0 against Tara Lambert of Bermuda.

There was also a 6-0, 6-0 win for England's Anna Smith, against Amritha Muttiah of Sri Lanka, who commented afterwards:

"It was a day when I had to focus and concentrate as it was very hot and I didn't want to get bogged down and I guess I did ok [judging] by the score!"

To complete the set Amanda Carreras of Gibraltar also won 6-0, 6-0, defeating Tiriata Keeba of Kiribati.

In the men's singles event there was an all British affair as Colin Fleming of Scotland took on Chris Lewis of Wales, with the Scot triumphing after a three set battle, winning 5-7, 7-5, 6-1.

"We were both near to exhaustion in unbelievably hot temperatures", said Fleming afterwards, "My proudness playing for Scotland was key as it's really amazing to represent Scotland here. I drank four and a half litres of fluid during the match and two before."

There was also a hard-fought victory for Ross Hutchins who defeated Aqeel Khan of Pakistan 6-2, 7-6(3). "It was so hot and humid and I dreaded it going to three sets," said the Englishman.

"Considering how little singles I play I was pleased to have a win. Shakes and fluids now before my doubles."

Hutchins then partnered Ken Skupski to victory against the Sri Lankan's Godamanna & Rajapakse in round one of the men's doubles. The British pair won 6-2, 6-1 to book their place in the next round. 

Scotland had a second singles winner in the form of Jamie Murray as he beat Rodney Carey of the Bahamas 6-2, 7-5.

Patrick Ogier of Guernsey was also in singles action, but went down 6-3, 6-2 to the third seed and world No.165, Matt Ebden of Australia.

There have also been  doubles victories today for James Ward & Josh Goodall winning 6-2, 6-2 against Mwangi & Okoth of Kenya in the men's event. 

Finally in the men's doubles, Welsh duo Josh Milton & Chris Lewis of Wales also won in straight sets against Mullings & Rolle of the Bahamas.

In the women's event there was further Scottish success as Mhairi Brown & Jocelyn Rae defeated the Bermudan Lambert sisters 6-2, 6-1.

And Brown later re-took to the court for the mixed doubles quarter-finals with partner Jamie Murray against tricky Australian opposition and top seeds Rodionova & Hanley, the latter going on to win the match 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semi-finals.
