Easy morning in Sharm for the British men:

FQR: Scott CLAYTON (GBR) [q3] WR 1085 def. Ramy KAMAL AITA (EGY) (WC) UNR (CH 762 in Spet. 13) 6-3 6-2

FQR: Robbie RIDOUT (GBR) [q8] WR 1366 def. Vitaliy KACHANOVSKIY (RUS) [q15] WR 1699 (CH 926 last April) 6-2 6-1

All the lads get qualifiers

Although Scott gets top youngster, Geens, who thrashed him last week :sad:

Robbie has the talented but rather young and unpredictable French kid.


R1: (q) Scott Clayton WR 1087 v (q) Clement Geens (BEL) WR 849 (CH 817 Sept. 13) Junior CH 8 in April 13

R1: Richard Gabb WR 555 v (q) Daivd Simunek (CZE) WR 1303 (CH 1274 last Nov)

R1: (q) Robbie Riddout WR 1285 v (q) Mandresy Rakotomalala (FRA) WR 1340, age 17, junior CH 48 (in Jan 15)

Robbie's lost the first set 1-6. But seems to be holding his own in the second. 3-2*

It's been a ding-dong last set, breaks flying around.

But now Robbie is serving for the match at 6*-6 - allez, Ridout !

Richard Gabb is a break down.

And wins the tie-break easily
