Toby Martin & Bruce Strachan UNR beat Shahar Elbaz & Motvey Radionov (ISR/ISR) CR 3518 6-1 6-0

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Josh P has taken the first set 7-6(2) and is an early break up , 1*-0, against the WR top 750 player. .....

BradMarx90 · County player

This would be an impressive scalp if he keeps this up against a player almost twice as high in the rankings. Josh is serving at *3-2.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Impressive scalp duly taken! wink

L32: Josh Paris WR 1444 defeated (7) Dekel Bar (ISR) WR 726 by 7-6(2) 6-4 biggrin

BradMarx90 · County player

Good lad! Here's hoping Bruce will defeat his qualifier and we'll have a certain Brit in the Quarters!

That's a good win - well in Josh. The consistent form indicates a ranking in the top 1000 should be a formality.

indiana · Tennis legend

Well done, Josh. Progressing in the right direction.

aparis · Social player

good win - although should've killed him off earlier in my opinion...another slow start

whats remarkable is hes won a staggering 11 tie breaks in a row! not lost one since July 2014

if he had the same attitude going into tie breaks as he did going into the start of a match the skys the limit....

paulisi · Tennis legend

I wonder what Josh's plans are - are we likely to see him play in the 15Ks on the grass in UK?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Toby lost the first set 2-6 (!)

Looks closer in the second . . .

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

FINALLY Toby converts one of his BPs and takes the second set 6-4

R1: (5) Toby Martin WR 652 vs (q) Guy Michelevitz WR 1664 2-6 6-4 6-1

That's the 3rd time this year Toby has come back from a set down.

Toby will be facing a qualifier in the next round, either Israeli Orel Ovil or American Samuel Beren.
