And Scott finished off his match 6-4 6-2

Jonny also won the first set 6-4.

And Richard is heading to finish line mercilessly, leading 6-0 3-0

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Richard generously gave the guy a game, and won 6-0 6-1

As said, am hoping for a good week for Rich.

And Jamie W has taken the first set v the 6th seed. Now THAT would be a great result if he could see that through....

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

And Jonny brings home the bacon too - winning 6-4 6-2

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

And Jamie rounds off an excellent day in Egypt, beating the 6th seed, 6-3 6-3

What a super day for our guys in Egypt. Great stuff!

Jonny's run of bad luck doesn't seem to have come to an end....

He's given a walkover to Jamie W in his round 2 match today.

Hope it's nothing too serious, Jonny - and at least the benefit goes to a Brit......

Gutted for Jonny. Have to say that after popping a rib last week, I was amazed to see him playing at all. Hope the recovery is swift and sustained.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, so to speak:

Scott takes the 1st set 6-4
Robbie is up 5-3*
Luke on serve at 4-4*

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Scott raced through the 2nd set to win 4&1
But Robbie lost 4 games in a row from 5-3 up and with it the 1st set 7-5
Luke also lost the 1st set 6-4

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Great win from Scott !!!!

(again

)

Wonder if Scott will be our 'lower-ranked-star-of-the-week' award player?

Still a few others though to fight for it....

All gone tits up, Robbie lost next four games to drop first set 5-7 and Luke was broken to lose first set 6-4. He is 2-1* down, on serve.

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Ridout has a break in 2nd, leading 4-2* , while Bambridge serving to stay in the match at 4-6 *4-5

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Luke saves a match point at *6-5 in tie break, to take 2nd set 7-6 (6), Robbie served for 2nd set (as he did the first) but is broken and now serving to stay in match at 5-6 15-30.
