Needs to find 13pts fairly soon as Josh Goodall will drop out of top 500 in a couple of weeks

OK, Richard how's about the title to maybe take GB to 20 in the top 500.

It would take Richard to 70 points, but Oli will be living a little on the edge, on 65 points.

And Richard now romping away with the 3rd set. Currently *3-0 with a double break.

4-4 for Michael.

Unfortunately, Richard doesn't seem to be motivated by our top 500 table demands !

has just lost the first set 6-1 cry

However, Michael Suleau is two breaks up in the first set of his first round match (won't help the table, I'm afraid, but . . . )

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Well that is definitely not in the script !!

But Richard is now a break up in the second set at *3-2. Now that's more like it.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Richard wins the 2nd set 6-4 so into a decider.

On serve in the 2nd for Michael Suleau at 4-3* and one set to the good.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Back on target !!

Richard dishes out a 3rd set bagel.

Michael is pulled back to one set all.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Oh dear. Apparently Michael has retired at the end of the 2nd set.

Hope it is not serious.

Unfortunately, Scott came close to a nice 1 point but fell short:

R1 : Gilad BEN ZVI (ISR) won 7-5 3-6 6-3 v Scott CLAYTON (GBR)

So only Richard left:

R2 : Richard GABB (4) v Gianluca MAGER (ITA) (Q) WR 1252

korriban · Challenger level

6-2 *3-0.

6 games in a row.

BPs: Richard 4/4; opponent 0/8.

Playing well when it matters - a good sign.
