Draw could have been worse (although all the Q spots were quite nice - not a single one against a seed - apart from the LL who gets the third seed - which is as it should be ! ):
R1: Evan Hoyt WR 1486 v Davide Melchiorre (ITA) WR 1064 (CH 962 in Oct. 14)
Very good news. Well done, Evan. Do hope he manages an injury-free sustained period of tennis - as said before, he's got a very nice game of tennis. All the best . . .
Really pleased for Evan. This is his first ranking point of the year. He has had so much bad luck with injuries that he really deserves a good injury free run so that he can put himself to the test. Plenty of talent there.
