Bloomers now up 5-2

Jonny down 2-5 in the 2nd

Marcus 4-4 in the 1st against Brit-basher 2nd seed Torebko

Neil showing last week was no flash in the pan, a set up 6-4 against 3rd seed Michalicka

*5-3

Actually he had two RAC callouts and spent the night in a travel lodge, but car is in garage somewhere.

GSM Bloomers by 7-5 1-6 6-3. smile

Unlucky Burton! Definitely has the talent, lost a lot of close matches this year!

steven · Tennis legend

Fucsovics wins 2-6 6-3 6-2

but that 1st set suggests good things to come for Jonny

Neil Pauffley beat 3rd seed Michalicka 4 & 4

Marcus did well to take Torebko to a 1st set t/b but lost that 7-6(4) and eventually lost in 2 - Slabba next for Torebko.

Ed up 6-1 v Milko - the winner plays Pauffley in R2

Josh · Challenger level

Ed cruising 4-1 in the 2nd, mertens winning easily in the only other singles match still on.

Oh, you're here!

Does that mean you've left for the day or have you managed to access the forum from the courts?

From his matches with Brits last week and now this, Torebko either is a bit jammy to get all the wins he has, only really impressing at all scorelinewise against Josh Goodall in last week's final or he just simply generally does as much as he needs to and little more confuse

Seen much of him, Josh ?

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I had internet access on my phone the whole time, it's just easier to put the scores straight onto twitter than onto the forum when there a load of matches going on at the same time. It was pretty quiet towards the end though with Ed winning comfortably and only doubles matches on the other courts so I caught up with all the other threads and just made a quick post on here.

re Torbeko, I only really saw the end of the 1st set against Willis where both were pretty even, Willis even had a set point at 6-5* up, but Torbeko just edged through in the TB. Didn't really see any of the 2nd set, but pretty sure it was just the 1 break.

Not sure how much I'll be there for tomorrow, only an hour or so if at all in the morning.

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, I'm sure it is easier to do at that way - that's even true when not on-site. You've done a brilliant job anyway, way above and beyond the call of duty. I hope you're managing to see some tennis, not just a phone keypad wink
