From a Belgian follower on Twitter:

"@GBtennis @georgemorgan10 It seems that @JuCagnina took revenge"

cry

Belgian gloating is a dangerous game, I'd say, given that Cagnina plays Ed in R2. wink I'll hold fire until he wins though (just in case he doesn't)

Actually, the Belgians have their own version of us - https://twitter.com/TennisbelgeBE/ and the site linked to from there.

Despite it being 'compete with the Belgians week,' I will behave and resist the temptation to point out that @gbtennis has 1940 followers at the moment and @TennisbelgeBE has exactly 1900 less than that. wink

Still, didn't help George, did it

Marcus a set up (6-1) after less than 20 minutes.

I have a feeling he has drawn the jackpot with this guy. Lost only 3 points on his serve in 4 games, 2 of which were DFs!

Did I speak too soon.....?

Good points all. At least, though, having been in Austin, Texas for four years, he shouldn't find acclimating to heat too hard. Though that may be a drier heat.

It looks like you might have. Josh Goodall won the 1st set 6-1 against the same player last week then bagelled him in the 2nd but Psarros isn't going away so easily this time - it's 7-7 in the 2nd set tiebreak!

Burton loses 6-2 6-4, really needed to hold first game of the second set but couldn't, he then seemed to hold pretty easily after that. Needs to start getting some wins soon

I don't see any major obstacles other than Marcus on top form that will stop Ed from winning this tournament.

Sun and heat (is he a good hot weather player?) and playing outdoors for the first time this season will all take some getting used to, rather than specific players posing a big threat. Plus this is the first tournament back after a longish break. 

Ed should easily make QF and from then he has good chances, but it won't be easy at all. I'd be surprised if he won first tournament out, but he's playing 3 or 4 weeks in Greece, so should be nicely warmed up in a week or so.
