Scott Clayton's singles slump continues. Scott Duncan has his first ranking point.

 

Certainly his first since Dublin 2014 so a ranking again, and given it seems his only point previous to that was earned in Dublin the previous year, his first not from Dublin.

I think he is more willing than most to take any media proposal that comes his way. I certainly suspect Kyle has turned down a few 'let's get to know Kyle Edmund' opportunities.

Hoping to go and spectate tomorrow - depends how my man flu is when I wake up....

Edit having woken up - still not 100% so going to have to give it a miss. Didn't have much luck last year with spectating so was really hoping to be able to get to this one cryno

Marcus went 1-3 down early on but then won 5 games in a row to take the 1st set 6-3

Scott Duncan lost the opener 6-2 but is putting up a good fight at *3-3 in the 2nd

From that 3-1 down in the 1st set, Marcus then wins 11 of the next 12 games to complete a 6-3 6-1 victory.

Scott Duncan into a 2nd set breaker.

Jonny Gray was twice up a break in the 1st set only to be pulled back each time but then after a monster game on the Gigounon serve when leading 6-5* he finally converts on his 5th SP to take the set 7-5. Go Jonny.

Well second quarter-final in the 3 British futures and reached R2 last week ( lost to Marcus ) so 5 points in all and still going so really good start to the year. Takes him to 9 points in total. Now semi final points would really boost this.

Well done Jonny G for taking out the top seed for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. I think Joel may have softened him up a bit yesterday.

Not to be for Ryan though who loses a really tight match, 6-4 in the 3rd. Marcus will therefore get an early chance to avenge his defeat of 2 weeks ago in Glasgow at the hands of Vandenbulke. Hope Willbomb remembers to bring his serve with him this time.
