L16: (Q) Toby Martin WR 1017 lost to (8) Marko Djokovic (SRB) WR 673 by 3-6 6-1 7-5

Unfortunately, that loss means that Toby has lost his last 12 singles R2 matches (since reaching QFs in Bournemouth and Israel in Apr/May last year) - not as bad as it looks though, given that in quite a few of those cases, he had to beat a higher-ranked player just to get to R2. It explains why he is still quite a way off his career high of 763 set in June 2012 though.
