Neil P could go deep again this week. Ash has a lot of points to defend from last year's win, but should be an interesting match with Bambo.

It's amazing how you produce these statistics

How long do think it took to produce that last report ?

Interesting day of tennis today, some players playing above their normal level, some seeds below their normal level.

Jack v Liam

Liam eased to a 4-1 lead, lost focus, then Jack played exceptionally well, making very minimal unforced errors, to work his way back into the set and the match. Newcastle is a bogey tournament for Liam 4 years played, no wins and he knows it. Still though there were glimpses of what improvements he has made to his game this year, in particular a bigger forehand. Best just to write off this week as Newcastle just seems to drop his level. Shouldn't take away from Jack's performance which was very very good. Liam heading to the States next month, not playing grass court season.

Alex v Aussie

Alex played very well at times, but just at the wrong times he would put in a sloppy game which eventually made the difference. The Aussie played a very solid match and according to one of the players watching way above his normal level.

Kyle v Spaniard ( outclassed )

Kyle was supreme to start off with, massively improved and looking so much stronger physically than the last time he played at the Jesmond club. He then took the foot off the gas got a little sloppy by his own high standards but still the Spaniard was only able to win 1 game. The rest of the field have a chance if he plays like he did in the 2nd set, but on his 1st set show he must be the prohibitive favourite. Kyle has a WC into a challenger in Europe next week. Not going to bother with the FO qualies ( wouldn't get in anyway ), back in England for the grass.

Luke v Aussie with a South African surname ( a constant highly entertaining monologuer througout the match )

Great match and it looked like it would go the distance, until Bambo raised his level right at the back end of the match. Bambo loves a battle though, and I'm pretty confident he would still have got the job done if it had got tighter. A bit more on Bambo's groundies from the last time I saw him last year. Luke not playing grass court season.

Keelan v Wang

Wasn't impressed by Wang who also had an injury time out, but Keelan played well.

Other matches

Didn't catch much else as was focussed on centre court, but Steven is right to flag up that Toby's opponent is much better than his actual ranking as has just finished college.

Didn't really catch any of the rallies, just was occasionally tracking the score. Court 15 being on the far side. But I would agree with Marcus that Imran is a player on the up. Marcus was in good spirits as always #kingofpuns

Jan · Hall of fame

Thanks for the first-hand report Phil

BeefyDeedz · Pro player

With Kyle's WC next week I think it will be interesting to see his performances this week. He should, really, be after all 18 points with a certain degree of comfort until the final, but who knows how it will turn out.

indiana · Tennis legend

Thanks for the informative report, Phil.

Yes, I also found Mr van Peperseel ( whatever his nationality :) ) quite entertaining last week ( was quite an interesting contrast to a very chilled Marcus, who it struck me at a couple of points was trying not to laugh ).

I agree re Liam's forehand. When Liam was really flowing early on in his SF with Marcus last week, I was pleasantly surprised with just how much he was getting on that forehand wing.

Interesting that Liam and Luke not doing the grass court season. Presuming that includes Wimbledon, then that lessens the competition for Q WCs.

Sounds like a Marcus is in his usual good humour .

Add Ash and Pauffers to that list as well as they won't be playing any grass tournaments either. Ah Van P I just assumed was South African and not Australian, though his accent did have an Aussie twang about it.
