Maybe, but it should be a match that peaks Evo's interest. Not to mention Harrison won't have had much grass court practice.

A couple of results that haven't been reported here.

Orton lost 3 and 3
Pauffley lost 5 and 3

One match still going on. Milton lost the first set 6-4.

RJA · Hall of fame

Play suspended with Milton 4-6, *2-4

Can't see why. Light should be good enough to play till around 9:00, if not a bit longer.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Wonderful news about Baker and Klein. Hopefully at least one of them makes it through (Brydan especially needs points urgently).

LTA report on yesterday http://www.lta.org.uk/fans-major-events/Nottingham-Festival-of-Tennis/News/2013/Jamie-Baker-and-Brydan-Klein-through-to-final-round-of-qualifying-while-Ward-exits/

Includes a few quotes from James Ward. It also calls Klein a GB "acquisition" - not the best choice of words under the circumstances, even if it can take the more innocent meaning they no doubt intend.
