Neal with yet another new partner, but arguably a slightly better first round draw than last week:

R1:  Tomasz Bednarek (POL) & Neal Skupski CR 379 (270+109) vs (WC) Federico Gaia & Alessandro Gianessi (ITA/ITA) CR 778 (367+411)

R1:  Tomasz Bednarek (POL) & Neal Skupski CR 407 (294+113) defeated (WC) Federico Gaia & Alessandro Gianessi (ITA/ITA) CR 792 (374+418) by 4-6 6-1 [11-9]

Good to see Neal get a win for a change. smile  They'll probably face the top seeds, Knowle & Oswald, in the QF. however. hmm

Wow!  That's a spectacular result against the top seeds!  biggrin  Somehow I forgot that they were due to play their QF today & singularly failed to check on the outcome.    Fingers crossed for them against the Slovaks.

Lovely news. Thanks, Phil.

Just went onto the junior Mr Skupski's twitter feed to see if there was further news, and found this: www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-tennis-star-neal-skupski-9832751.

The family is having a good summer!
