The second leg for those in south-east Asia has a slightly stronger field, with second seed Max De Vroome (Indy's brother) likely to pose the biggest threat to the Brits.

Excellent day, and the 15 points on offer are enough for 7 of them to improve ranking (all apart from Scott)). Good chances for most tomorrow, though Alex and Clay will be second favourites
All the boys through to the quarters except Alex and Clay. Six remaining Brits all play a fellow Brit, meaning 3 out of 6 will get through to the semis and we are guaranteed a Brit in the final.

More good stuff from the boys and also from our tipster : "Good chances for most tomorrow, though Alex and Clay will be second favourites" I should have been down the bookies seeing what odds I could have got on an accumulater for the 18th Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup Last 16
All 4 quarter-finals were won by the younger player. Unfortunately Toby & Scott gave a walkover in doubles

Good to see Peter and Joshua have been doing well in Malaysia after we were wondering a few weeks ago what they were up to.
Peter, in particular, having won the grade 4 last week and heading now at least to the low 200s in the rankings, seems to be doing rather well, having just turned 15 in August.

Scott and Toby pulled out the doubles because Scott was ill during and after his singles match and could hardly walk off the court, let alone play another match.
It must be hard for all the boys to be playing in those conditions!

Poor Scott, he was one of the retirals last week ( in the semis ) from what I understood then to be a general illness going around.
Whtever ailed him today, or is still ailing him, really tough to be feeling so bad and lose out in 3rd set tiebreak
