Three seeds lost in round 1, including Jonathan Cornish, who incurred a straight sets defeat by Luke Johnson. Toby Martin unsurprisingly beat 7th seed Matthew Frost whilst qualifier David Fox beat 8th seed Ravi Patel
It looked a reasonable call, but not to be. Evan lost in 3 to Benjamin Lott. The showdown between Toby Martin and Sam Hutt should decide the finalist from the bottom half now.
Toby has a struggle but the expected winners emerge:
(1) Luke Bambridge d. Luke Johnson 6-4 6-2 Toby Martin d. (Q) Scott Clayton 6-1 5-7 6-3
F
(1) Luke Bambridge v Toby Martin
Some years they have a best of 5 sets final (which might favour Toby, as Luke has been having problems with illness during the summer), but I don't see any mention of that for this year. Jack Findel-Hawkins and Alexander Gasson were the surprise winners of the doubles title
