Disappointing loss for Liam today. Kyle's next opponent has a very good record on clay, but has yet to do anything much on hard

Oli took 4 hours to despatch the Chilean 4-6 7-6 6-4.

Really? Four?
I find that surprising given ollies all out style. He's usually going for winners as opposed to just rallying. And that's usually what it takes for a 4 hour 3 set match. Especially when you consider it is on a hard court and not a clay court.

Oli did tweet that it was 4 hours, maybe just seemed like it smile

"Just had an absolute 4 hour grind against a chilean !!! 46 76 64 ! Vamooos !!!"

Would they likely have much ball kid support in these matches ? Would clearly add time if not.

Looks a decent effort by Kyle against the JWR 30 though David did say that the Belgian's very good results were on clay rather than hard. Oli taken to another 3 setter against a qualifier / LL.

Let's hope George doesn't get dizzy playing his Brazilian opponent.

Not bad Maza !

I admit, it took me a minute or two to work that one out as I wasn't looking at his name as a whole!

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

All won in dubs, Luke/Kyle with a big win over 2nd seeds

Maza1987 · Challenger level

well done to them.
hopefully kyle and luke can go deep to compensate for the singles.

Oli and George both tweeted and coincidentally have won by the same scoreline 1 and 4, so both move into the QF. Well done to both, Oli needs to win his next match to back up his seeding.
