And if I am not mistaken, that is 6 of the 8 seeds out in the 1st round. Could be an interesting week !!
Utterly bizarre for this to happen, especially on indoor hard. Great opportunity for some players though. Evo in particular is defending lots of points this month and could really do with grasping the opportunity.
Good to see Thornley finally win a match, that is his first main draw singles win since the middle of July.
