Dan goes down 6-3, 6-1.  Given this is just his second match on clay in the last 12 months, I don't think we had high expectations.  Time to get onto the grass!

Another break for Wardy who leads *4-2

I think the fact that Dan only played one other match on clay this year even when he was bound to be seeded in qualies here probably says it all.

Actually, someone (@_Manish7) asked on Twitter: "Do you know what niggle or Injury Dan has been nursing.He's pulled out of a few tourneys this year after a great start to the year" - my immediate thought was "isn't that just Dan being Dan?" but you never know - if it had been virtually any other player, we'd have assumed an injury niggle, so that might have something to do with it.

Albot stops a run of 4 breaks in a row by holding for 4-4 in the 2nd

The scores seemed to stop for a while at 30-0 on Albot's serve but have now ticked over to 6-3 *5-5

James has played RG qualies 3 times before (2010-12) - each time, his QR1 match went to 3 sets and each time he ended up losing. So finishing it off in two might be an idea!

6-5*
