R2

(9) Filippo Baldi (ITA) v (WC) Billy Harris 3rd match ct 15
Luke Bambridge v (7) Christian Garin (CHI) 1st match ct 4
(5) Kyle Edmund v Yoshihito Nishioka (JPN) 3rd match ct 4
(Q) Jonny O'Mara v (11) Pedro Cachin (ARG) 3rd match ct 9
(Q) Julian Cash v (3) Alexander Zverev (GER) 3rd match ct 19

Very poor that they have not allocated Kyle's match in particular to a streamed court - there are 3 junior matches on each of courts 10, 16 and 17 (+ 2 doubles) which I think are streamed but none feature Brits (except Katy's doubles)

A titanic battle between Jonny and Janvier. I think they exchanged breaks early in the first set, with just one break since in the 11th game of set 2. Jonny has just staved off a couple of breakpoints though to hold for 7-6* in the decider

 The first two games of the match went against serve.

Really pleased to see Jonny win this. I really think that he is super lad and I am very happy for him.

Please wish hm good luck from me as well for tomorrow - even though neither you nor he has any idea who I am !!

I did spend a couple of days down in La Manga whilst the training camp was on before Xmas last year and had the privilege of watching all the guys (and gals) down there training.  If I remember, Jonny was having a "ding-dong" of a match with Liam on the day I was there.  It was great to watch.

So I, like many others on here, will follow Jonny's progress with great interest.

You're welcome.  I will be supporting them all tomorrow.

Not sure how closely you follow this board but I had the pleasure of following Kyle and Beechy around when he played futures in my area so got to know them quite well and posted a few match reports on here.  So he will be another Junior whose match I will be following closely.

Just to echo praise of the wonderful fighting spirit thus far! And good luck to all playing today.

ITF roundup has a quote that suggests this may be the last time Mr Edmund plays juniors:

Its nice to come out of the seniors and play the juniors. Its a different pressure but a good pressure. Its my last junior tournament so its nice to have it here. Im not going to put any pressure on myself. Im just going to go out there and have some fun. Ill play well if Im relaxed, I know that. So Ill just go out there and have a swing."

The BBC website now has an interview with Kyle discussing his opening match, and at the end he confirms that this will be his final junior tournament: he's aiming to have a lot of fun, swing away and have a good crack at winning Junior Wimbledon. So no US Open Juniors. I think after his good showing at Queen's and Eastbourne, playing another Junior Event (outside Wimbledon) would have been a let-down.

Kyle's showing against Janowicz not looking so shabby now either! When the Pole is "on it", he's borderline unplayable, but he can also unravel. Jerzy is probably the only player who can stop Andy reaching the final, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't take at least a set from Andy.

Another brilliant win for Kyle - exact same scoreline as their match in that US Futures earlier this year. Nishioka a good match-up for him?

Great to see Jonny make the 3rd round.

Really hope that match is on a streamed court, would love to watch it tomorrow.

A few interesting bits in this article

http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2013-07-02/201307021372790687616.html

It implies that the decision to give Jonny a qualifying wild card was down to the AELTC and not based on an LTA recommendation.

At the end of today, what price Kyle is the only GB player left standing in boys and girls? Slightly unfair of me, given all the girls' results are already in, but let's hope Kyle doesn't start a new trend a la Andy of being our sole respresentative. Have a sneaky feeling that Jonny may continue his good run this week, but can't see any other winners.

Cachin/O'Mara 5-4 on serve. From the live scores, it looks as if young Mr O'Mara is fighting every single point in battling fashion. Opponent's serve very much under threat.
