Ash level at 5-5*

Toby a break down at *3-5

Toby holds and although he is a break down at 4-5* he has actually won more points than his opponent.

Both Ash and Toby lose the 1st set.

Toby fought hard but in the end the Nº 3 seed was too strong winning 4&2

Ash on serve at 5-4*

Toby loses 6-4 6-2 ::((

With apologies to Liam and Ash, I will have to check their results in the morning. As a self confessed "light-weight", it is well passed my bedtime here. Good luck to them both.

Sleep tight, Bob - after all, you are an hour later, I imagine :)

And you may well not be able to stay up anyway as Ash looks like he's in for a LONG time on court.

He's just won the second set in another tie-break.

Not to be for Ash:

QF: (6) Jean-Yves Aubone (USA) WR 711 defeated (2) Ashley Hewitt WR 461 by 7-6(4) 6-7(3) 6-2 bleh disbelief

But captures the second set by 6-2 to take the match into a decider.

There were no breaks at all in the first 2 sets in Ash's match according to ITF livescores.

Liam is on the verge of going out too - he was 1-5* down in the 3rd when I checked but broke Smith when he served for the match.

3-6 6-2 *2-5

Liam gets broken again though to complete a very bad day for the Brits here

QF: (1) Liam Broady WR 392 lost to Connor Smith (USA) WR 730 (CH 717 in May) by 6-3 2-6 6-2

QF: Toby Martin WR 870 lost to (3) Facundo Mena (ARG) WR 459 (CH 443 in May) by 4 & 2

QF: (2) Ashley Hewitt WR 461 lost to (6) Jean-Yves Aubone (USA) WR 711 (CH 475 in 2009) by 7-6(4) 6-7(3) 6-2

I guess the only consolation here is that I took the decision to get my beauty sleep when I did and didn't sit up watching live scores. Not the news I was hoping for when I got up this morning.

Ash and Toby gave a walkover in their doubles. Hope both were just tired as opposed to having picked up a niggle . . .
