Edmund takes it by 6-4 7-6(3)! Somehow, I'm not surprised! Well done, lad!

Miles was a break down in the second set, but has recovered it: 6-2 4-4*. Come on, lad! Put the Irishman out of his misery!

Bloomers takes the first set by 6-4. 1-0* in the second.
Bugby vs Barry: second set goes to a tie-break.
Dan C vs Fitzy: *1-1.
Bugby was two points away from seeing off Barry in two, but loses the second-set tie-break by 5-7. All square.
Bloomers breaks Marcus to take a *2-0 lead in the second set, but is himself broken to 0, then breaks again in the fourth to 40 for *3-1.
Bloomers wins by 4 & 3 & will face Dan C or Fitzy in the FQR later this afternoon. Talking of the latter two, Fitzy has just taken the first set by 6-4 & will serve first in the second!
Well done Fitzy for breaking again to take the 1st set.:)He's gone *0-30, *15-30. *15-40 and a DF gives Coxy an early break in the 2nd.
EDIT: Dan Cox now serving at *3-0 in the 2nd set.
Sadly, I think Miles has had it: Barry now serving for the match at *5-2.

And so it proves: Barry serves out for a 2-6 7-6(5) 6-2 victory. So near & yet so far! At least there'll be no divided loyalties in the FQR!
Coxy breaks to 40 to take a *5-0 lead in the second set. He'll serve for it...
Dan duly takes the second set to 0 to level the match at a set all.
