One could say a decent score against the fourth seed . . .

- or pretty feeble in other ways - it can only be a question of concentration (not his strong point) and strategy (neither?) - either you relax straight after you break and switch off a bit, or you get excited and think 'way to go, I'm in' and start blasting the ball every which way . . .

net, net, he lost 6-3 7-6(3)

L16: Arthur Surreaux (FRA) WR 587 defeated Joe Salisbury WR 794 by 7-6(3) 7-6(4)

*****

Better in the doubles (& perhaps Joe will find a way of getting the better of Surreaux this time, especially after such a close match in the singles):

QF: (2) Joe Salisbury & Josh Ward-Hibbert CR 873 (346+527) "defeated" Matteo Berrettini & Edoardo Eremin (ITA/ITA) CR 2205 (1153+1052) by a walkover
