13 seems to be unlucky for Tom (he was 12-0 in Futures qualifying matches this year before today, qualifying 3 times in the UK and the last 2 weeks in Turkey) - he went out despite winning 3 games more than his opponent:

L32: Toby Martin WR 865 v Miljan Zekic (SRB) WR 435 (CH 267 in 2011)

The winner is likely to face 2nd seed Marsel Ilhan, who is in a late WC here.

Btw, Tom's conqueror Barth went on to beat the 5th Q seed much more easily, 2 & 3.

Toby's match was the only R1 match not to finish today - it was suspended after Zekic edged the 1st set tiebreak 12-10

and will resume at 08.00 GMT tomorrow. Not a bad effort against a top 500 / ex-top 300 player.
