Brits are 1-5 v non-Brits so far today (just Josh beating a slightly higher-ranked seed), with 4 more coming through in all-GB matches, the top seed out in the all-GER match and 5 R1 matches in progress or still to play.

For some reason, Luke's match is not on my Livescore feed whereas previous matches from the same court are showing. Any one else have the same problem, or an explanation ?
Meanwhile, Peter has won the battle of the Ashleys 7-6(0) 6-2, defeating a player ranked 994 places above him and improving his career best scalp from 1212 to 566 in one fell swoop!

Not looking good in the remaining matches with Andy B, and Tom all a set down. But Dave R has just saved (at least) 2 set points and has now taken the 1st breaker 8-6.
Dave making heavy weather of finishing off Rosenzweig - he had a chance to break for the match but is now bp down (not for the first time) in a very long game as he serves for it.
