hope Liam's feeling better after those mumps...

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

He had mumps?

That takes a while to get over.

Nasty thing to get when you are no longer a child. Not that children exactly enjoy it either. . .

From past experience, no more than a week. Its unpleasant and of course an athlete will need more recovery time to get fitness back up, but he should be ok by now!

DavidC · Tennis legend

A good start for Luke against a strong opponent, and now he has a chance to avenge a defeat in the Italian Grade A by Chung. Evan has a tough match against the former world no.3, who beat him easily in the Osaka Grade A last year. Liam's fitness should be tested by the former Les Petits As winner. Kyle plays a tongue-twister, who has won 4 titles this year, albeit in small Asian/Australasian events.

Liam's match is on Court Central at 18.30 local time (23.30 BST) and may well be streamed:

Good start for Luke and Evan

DavidC · Tennis legend

3 early results all going to the seeded player, though I thought Luke had a good chance of an upset in his match. The website is confirming that Liam's match will be streamed live (in high quality from what I can see). Judging from the videos of yesterday's matches there should be an option of catching up with it later as well.

Liam's match is available to view on the above link (click match 3). You can fast forward, though the sound commentary struggles to catch up. From a quick perusal Liam went behind early on but bounced back to claim the first set 6-4. He went 5-1 up in the second only to implode on serve, giving himself (or possibly the officials) a sarcastic clap when he allowed Halys to level at 5-5, and then lost the set 7-5. Finally he came through 6-3 in the third. Kyle should be on court at present (not streamed)

Kyle is amongst a raft of seeds progressing, meaning we have 3 Anglo-German contests in round 3

A convincing win for Liam today after Monday's wobble. The other two should be on court around now.

He joins Mitchell Krueger (currently ranked 5) and Shane Vinsant (top 20 last year)

Today's result is a mystery. What's clear is that Kyle has joined Liam in the quarters. The Canadian website suggests that Josh has made it 3 out of 3, but Kyle has tweeted GBR 2 GER 1

Spectator · All-time great

As per Zoo Tennis, Krueger has just decided to go pro rather than going to university. That should still be quite a team. Hope Ward-Hibbert enjoys Texas.

Good wins from the two Quarterfinalists.
