Good (de) Greef, that's a bad loss for Chris (and an even worse play on words, admittedly )

Main draw

Would you believe, all 5 Brits are in the top half of the draw

In a word, Steven, yes! 

Marcus retired against Stadler ... must be even more frustrating for Slabba

Oliver Hudson very unlucky by the looks of it - he went down 7-6(8) 7-6(5) to Moser.

Neil Pauffley serving for the 1st set against Nieminen, though 5 of the 11 games so far have been breaks and Neil has just had to save another bp.

Sean has both saved and missed set points against Minar in the 2nd set tiebreak - *8-8 ... and takes it 10-8 as Minar DFs! Into a 3rd ...

whats the betting if one of our boys comes through the Q's they draw Torebko??
