I wasn't really expecting James to win this but disappointing to lose in straight sets having been a break up in both of them

L32: James Marsalek WR 937 lost to (7) Javier Pulgar García (ESP) WR 662 (= CH) by 5 & 5

The match to decide Andrew's R2 opponent is still in its 1st set.

James has really disappointed over the last 18 months and I don't see too much in his game to give me optimism at the moment to say he could get back to a CH

Great chance at four more in the quarters too no matter who he plays.

I think you mean ranked 512 places above him, don't you? Bobrov is 17 and is at a career high 30 in the junior rankings at the moment. Both players upset seeds in R1.

So I do!    Can't for the life of me explain how I got that so wrong!

Last man standing - Andy Bettles - lost the second set 6-3, but is currently 5-2 up in the final set.

A win, would put his ranking close to the top 1000
