Saw Chettar at Wirral qualies. Shouldn't be a problem

Another tweet from Soto tennis

Main Draw Vietnam: JWH plays Recourdec (France) and Fitz plays Nguyen (Vietnam)

So scant reward for JWH who, having come through a 3 1/4 hour marathon in the FQR, draws Recourdec who has just won Vietnam F1 while Fitzy's opponent is not ranked. Not sure on the seedings yet but I think Fitzy may be seeded.

L32: (Q) Joshua Ward-Hibbert WR 1121 v (6) Laurent Recourdec (FRA) WR 461

L32: (7) Andrew Fitzpatrick 510 v (WC) Trung Hieu Nguyen (VIE) UNR

Seedings now confirmed and corrected.

I think you got the wrong Vietnamese player, Bob (too many Nguyens! wink ) but you're right, it's a rough draw for Josh.

L32: (Q) Joshua Ward-Hibbert WR 1121 v (6) Laurent Recouderc (FRA) WR 461 (CH 124 in 2009)
L32: (7) Andrew Fitzpatrick 510 v (WC) Nguyen Hoang Thien (VIE) WR 1438 (CH 1368 last Jun)

This Nguyen was a top 70 junior at the start of last year.

Oops. I was originally going off the Acceptance list before the draw went up (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it wink ) and he was the only Vietnamese Nguyen that I could find. Strangely there was also an American Nguyen on the list of Alternates.

Thanks for the correction.

And for all you doubles aficionados out there,

L16: (3) Andrew Fitzpatrick/Josh Ward Hibbert WR 1483 beat Kelsey Stevenson/Torsten Wietoska (Can/Ger) WR 2329 : 7-5 6-2

Looks like both will play their singles tomorrow. Fitzy has tweeted that he is 2nd up on Centre Court

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Is it me, or has the scoring stuck at 5-5, 15-15 ?

MTO ?

EDIT.

Cancel that. The scoreboard now seems to have caught up.
