L32: (4) Marcus Willis WR 387 v Hyeon Chung (KOR) WR 542 L32: Lewis Burton WR 778 v (3) Ivo Kleck (SVK) WR 386
Tough draw for both. Chung is a talented 17 year old who reached the Boys final at Wimbledon last year beating Kyrgios and Coric.
And I'm sure he won last week's event
He did indeed win F1, which has just finished, and thrashed Gong (the player who beat Marcus in the QFs) 0 & 1 in the semis on the way. He is a top 20 (former top 10 junior), while Klec (no second "k") is a former top 200 player, CH 184 in 2006. Horrible draws indeed.

That's an excellent win for Marcus He has a ridiculous draw for a seed though - having beaten last week's winner in R1, he gets last week's runner-up in R2!

Nightmare draw but my mindset is changing in singles need quality opponents rather than just focusing on points .
Marcus tends to raise his game against tough opponents and I think he's capable of getting some good results in challengers
