Well done to him - that's three nice matches !

Hope that Nurse Bob is dosing him up with Portuguese lemsip.

And good luck to Robbie - is he playing? Tell him to keep the rude words to a minimum and take it out on the ball

Takes the set 6-1. Much calmer on court today.

Bob in Portugal · Social player

On serve in the 2nd

Robbie at *2-3

Robbie wins 6-1 7-5

Robbie seems to have found his speciality - his opponent today was age 29, UNR, but ex-WR 212.

Pretty much the identical profile to yesterday.

Not easy to beat.

Well done to Robbie and Jonny - and FanBob too

His opponent today didn't look ex Top 250. I wasn't too impressed at all to be honest

Doubles draw out. Scott and Jonny playing together. No other Brits. Think they are all in Loule playing WC playoffs for next week

Court 1 now has umpire and live scores for FQR. Don't know if that will be for all courts. Jonny due on in 15 mins. Robbie on same court straight after.

well, I guess we all have our moments and then slide gracefully into decline...... smile cry

On paper, Robbie has by far the harder task - playing the American, age 22, who was junior WR 12, currently about ATP 1000, used to be 882, presume he went to college....

Jonny's guy is a dutchman, ranked 1400 or so, also 22, with a high of 1309

Harry S said that Jonny's opponent is the guy that beat Robbie in the MD last week. Apparently he can play a bit too

Players are on court. Definitely an umpire for the FQR, but not sure about livescores on this court.

Robbie's opponent, Connor Farren was at Southern Cal and appears to have left in the summer at the end of his sophomore (2nd) year. Did well whilst he was there.
