Some action from yesterday: we had a correspondent in Glasgow and he managed to get some match reports as well as interviews with the players post-match. The fill interviews will be on our podcast later today, but for now:

Well done, nice to get a little colour to go with the scorelines. If you happened to get any photos that would be great.

Not to be for Ewan but a decent effort given his lack of experience at this level. He loses 6-1 in the 3rd.

Yes, very decent effort from Ewan, I was impressed from what I saw in the second and third sets. I was watching the third set on and off from afar and it was looking very competitive and pretty good quality then I went down to the match and found he was 5-1 down. But certainly as I say seemed a good competitive last two sets in spite of the final set score.

Lloyd wins 6-3 7-6(1)

Very solid all round and calm against an occasionally very irritated Frenchman.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Thanks for the onsite reports Indiana. Met Ewan when he was training in La Manga a year ago. He was here with Leon and Hilts, and was training with Charlie Broom. Both looked to have some talent.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Are you going again, Indy? Or anyone else?

(Have seen Ewan play once but didn't get a very strong impression, one way or the other, to be honest).

indiana · Tennis legend

Probably going Friday, the more Brits still about the more likely, though there will be 3 for starters over the men's and women's singles so that in itself is probably enough assuming they are spread out and they probably would go to the main court ( Court 6 ).

Somebody needs to give that bloody so-called live scoreboard a sodding great dose of industrial strength WD-40 because it's been less than reliable this week: the match between Reichelt/Massow & Barry/Kobelt must be long over (I'm typing this at 22:07), yet it's still showing Barry/Kobelt as having just won the first set by 6-2! confuse furious

Spectator · All-time great

Sorry about tne frustrating scoreboard, SC. Have high hopes for the DR/DS team - though my recollection is that Kobelt is a good doubles player ... not sure why his ranking is so low.

Luke up 4-2 against Neil

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Rich has the first set, 7-5

Luke won the first v Neil, 6-3

Luke and Neil now 4-4 in the 2nd. Rich an early break down in his 2nd set against Sarmiento at *0-3

BradMarx90 · County player

Luke beat Neil 6-3 7-6(3).

Richard down 7-5 1-6 0-3...

Having won the 1st set 7-5, Rich could only win one more game as Sarmiento stormed through the next two sets 6-1 6-0.
