QR2: (q1) Marcus Willis WR 613 v Robin Kern (GER) WR 1121 QR2: Ashley Hewitt WR 1244 v Thibault Venturino (FRA) WR 1343 QR2: Jack Carpenter WR 1079 v (q12) Antal Van Der Duim (NED) WR 779
If Marcus wins, it's likely to be Cruciat rather than Eysseric. Eysseric could be the QF opponent.
Marcus will play Cruciat in the second round, if he gets past van der Duim, but there's no danger of Eysseric in the QF: he was dumped out by 4-6 6-4 5-7 yesterday by that pesky Springbok who beat Jamie B the other week, Ruan Roelofse!
from the Wardinator's Twitter a few hours ago: Good win today, played well. Hit probably the best half volley I'll ever hit in 2nd set, youtube moment.
Not sure what's going on at the LTA, but they've got these results out quickly.
"Dan Smethurst and Alex Ward have both won their second round matches in Antalya. Smethurst beat Jiri Vesely 6-4, 6-0 whilst Ward won 6-3, 7-5 against the world No.364 and fourth seed Marcin Gawron."
