In between the two big European Grade As is this traditional event in Belgium. Evan Hoyt and Sam Hutt both won their first round matches against local wildcards to earn a crack at seeds ranked in the top 50. Evan's next opponent lost to Liam last week
R1 (L64)
Evan Hoyt (GBR) d. (WC) Joseph Van Dooren (BEL) 6-2 5-7 7-5
Near to an upset, but having lost in singles Evan was forced to concede a w/o to the top seeds in doubles, presumably because his partner has to be in Paris for Roland Garros qualifying (all Brits missed out on the draw, leaving just our top 4 in the main draw)
R3
(8) Juan Ignacio Galarza (ARG) d. Evan Hoyt (GBR) 3-6 7-6(4) 6-2
