I did notice that as the second set went on he served a lot better and Dan couldn't get into those service games. He also became a little more 'aggressive' with the forehand. Early on he was very passive just looping it in.

Agree that he should drive through the backhand more often, would add another surprise to his game.

R1: Dan Cox & Marcus Willis CR 659 (309+350) v (1) Wesley Koolhof & Matwe Middelkoop (NED/NED) CR 288 (137+151)
R1: (3) Andreas Beck (GER) & Ken Skupski CR 359 (245+114) v (WC) Gregorie Barrere & Marc Gicquel (FRA/FRA) CR 555 (348+207)
R1: (2) Ruben Gonzales (PHI) & Darren Walsh CR 357 (191+166) v (WC) Remi Boutillier & Quentin Halys (FRA/FRA) CR 1084 (548+536)

Well done, Marcus. Very tough looking R1 match, but Marcus is capable of playing at a level well above his ranking.

Still not going right for Ken, lost MTB 10-7

even though a difficult singles match for Dan and Marcus which sometimes happens they will now be playing doubles together! really good to see and I'm sure will be of great benefit to both of them. would really love to see them do well together.

well, I'm just tired working weekends and nights really doesn't help at times. I think I would like to have a holiday in a couple of weeks. get out into the sunshine and enjoy myself and do something different hopefully not on my own.

Marcus and Ed playing today.

still hoping Dan may get a LL place

Sjisling raced through first set 6-2 so might not be too long before mr willis is out on court

Lost the 2nd set though so we will have to wait a bit longer. Unfortunately it seems to be on the court that isn't streamed.

..... buuuut broken back
