Good UK representation here, including Michael Ward - just what we need, another player called Ward

At least his Christian name isn't Dan or Josh.

You're right smile they're banned . . . Or maybe not banned but just have to undergo an automatic deed poll change to Albert, or Cornelius, or maybe Susan . . .

Must be pretty strong draw for Cam to have to qualify.

all_rounder · Junior player

I presume Cam's injury has all cleared up now then?

It's his second tournament back, but should have started university now.

Got it in one ! smile

Four wins out of five, and a good score even in the other (with a reasonably ranked guy), means a pretty good day's performance:

QR1: (q1) Cameron Norrie WR 691 def. (wc) Alexandru Gasca-Silav (ROM) UNR age 29 6-1 6-0

QR1: Robin Goodman WR 1968 def. Gandhi BHAKTHAVACHALAM (USA) UNR 6-1 6-4

QR1: Michael Ward lost to (q16) Vullnet Tashi (SUI) WR 1456 6-4 6-4

QR1: (wc) Christopher Helliar WR 1727 def. Mitchell Dobek (USA) UNR 6-1 6-4

QR1: (q8) Danny Manlow WR 1037 def. Daniel Etcheverry (CHI) WR 1849 (CH 1746 in July) 6-4 6-1

QR2: (q1) Cameron Norrie (GBR) WR 691 v Robin Goodman (GBR) WR 1968

QR2: (wc) Christopher Helliar (GBR) WR 1727 v Ryan Haviland (USA) WR 1849 (CH 516 in 2004) age 33 (tricky draw)

QR2: (q8) Danny Manlow (GBR) WR 1037 v Jolan Cailleau (BEL) UNR

TMH · Futures qualifying

Wiersholm is currently junior WR41 (with a JCH of 40 seven months ago), so somewhat under-ranked. I fear he may prove too much for Danny.

It's part of his uni schedule. This autumn TCU are also sending players to pro tournaments in Charlottesville, Knoxville, and Champaign.

Better still, his name's not James or Alex!

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Good test for Dan then would love to see him get into UK top 25

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Cameron got the first set, 6-4, after a tight match up to 4-4, and now seems to be nicely in charge - 3-0 in the second

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Cam went on to win 6-4 6-1
