Patience is a set up against Matosevic. If the Frenchman does get through, I'm sure Chris won't need any reminding of the only other time they played each other in singles because Patience was the guy he beat in the Wimbledon FQR 3 years ago - probably a better result than the main draw win against Pashanski.

He didn't: Matosevic won by 4-6 6-3 6-2. Dunno whether that's good or bad for Chris' chances....

Marcus takes the match into a third set after winning the second-set TB by 7-5. smile

So looking to the second round we have at the moment:

Alex Bogdanovic 372 vs (5) Tim Smyczek 169 (USA)

Chris Eaton 432 vs (2) Marinko Matosevic 146 (AUS)

George Morgan 986 vs (3) Arnaud Clement 158 (FRA)

-----------

If Marcus could win (now a break up in 3rd) he would likely play Ebden

Very winnable match for Boggo, a tough ask for Eaton but not impossible, can't see Morgan having any real chance.

Willis now a double break up!

I've been following Meatball's match on livescores and the comeback has been amazing! 36 76(5) 5-1* now - can he break again for the match or at least serve it out from *5-2?

I think Sebastain Vettel added a new winning phrase to the English language when he used it when winning a recent Grand Prix. Seems to have snowballed a bit smile

edit : Ah, so it was really reference to this more specific to Willis TV clip. Just seemed topical to the Vettel comment, which was picked up on a bit smile

Since I've never understood the attraction of watching 24 (?) grown men/boys chasing one another round a circuit in nasty, noisy, smelly, outsized Tonka toys, it's hardly surprising that I missed that reference!

Solid from Boggo so far, looking very promising

6-4 5-3*
