Natalie Beazant from what I have read generally seems to have come on leaps and bounds. Be interesting to see what the future holds for her.

Thanks for the updates The O. 

Cam and Lloyd are just starting their singles matches, both streamed.

Thanks for this, DWH. Hadn't seen Mr Glasspool play before, and only seen Mr Norrie very briefly. Lots of good points to both. Have to say, though, that I did a little non-Brit watching, too - Carol Zhao and Noah Rubin hugely impressive.

 No problem 

Lloyd lost in 3 sets and Cam won in 3 sets.

Now up against each other in the doubles on Court 3

In R3(16)

#39 Cameron Norrie - TCU bt #14 Mikelis Libietis - Tennessee (ATP 677 CH 631). 4-6, 6-4, 6-4

#23 Jared Hiltzik - Illinois (ATP 1049 CH 1047) bt Lloyd Glasspool - Texas  7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3

#37 Sinead Lohan - Miami (WTA UNR CH 1062) bt Natalie Beazant - Rice. 7-5, 6-1

Only Lloyd+ left in dubs.

Big shout out to Lloyd for being a double All American.  That's seen as a massive achievement in college tennis.  And yes, it is his last year, so hopefully we will see him on the tour soon.

Didn't  catch the matches and have not seen either of these men play but glad to read good things about them from those who did watch.

Be interesting if Mr Glasspool and Mr Hess-Olesen, his doubles partner, were to try the pro circuit together. A few of the US university pairings have done so, often to good effect.

I'm nowhere near as expert as most of the people on here, but I would have said that Mr Glasspool would be potentially equal to Mr Corrie's level in singles ... beyond that, who knows. There was, though, to my mind a difference between the level of his match and the level of the Hanfmann/Rubin match. Checking his ITF records (I'd never seen him play before), Hanfmann has in the past year won one of two futures tournaments that he entered, lost at Challenger/Tour level to Petzschner, Nils Langer, and Laaksonen, beaten Gastao Elias and Paul-Henri Matthieu, and taken ERV to three sets at Indian Wells qualies. Rubin is interesting - quite a different style of play to many US players, and Hanfmann was targeting his backhand ... but his speed is extraordinary.


Of course, Messrs Glasspool and Hess-Olesen beat Hanfmann and his partner Quiroz, in the doubles ....

And they have won: 6-1 3-6 6-3. Quite remarkable! First GB champions since Mr Inglot in 2009 (with Mr Shabaz). A huge accomplishment.

Their predecessors in the past decade have included not only Mr Inglot, but also Robert Farah, Austin Krajicek, Messrs Buchanan and Rola, Kevin Anderson, John Isner, and Andreas Siljestrom. It bodes well for the future, should they wish to continue.

Story from their university here: texassports.com/news/2015/5/25/MTEN_0525151316.aspx

According to Zootennis' account of the finals, Messrs Glasspool and Hess-Olesen are going to play together on the circuit this summer.
