I noticed Antalya was hosting a grass court ATP 250 event same week as Eastbourne, just before Wimbledon. Good to see, a really strong grass circuit now. Is that the same venue in Antalya as these Futures events take place, they seem to have one each week? I'd be intrigued to see how the grass plays in such hot climes (Turkey in late June, hot and dry and probably quite baked!)

A quick look it doenst appear to be the case the futures appears to be a bit out of Antalya where the ATP even appears to be in Antayla. Assuming the futures are at the same place as they are this week.
Good day for Jay. Probably his singles win was looked at as pretty much routine, which says everything for his progress and how he has currently so separated himself from all other British teen guys.
Even as a big Jay fan, it's a bit surprising the bookies have Jay as favourite against Alex Muller.
But will be interesting. Alex is a year older, and has been very solid in ITFs - lots of finals, a couple of titles, last year and this - but hasn't really 'broken through' or done anything exciting as such.
And Jay has got the first break, so the bookies may well be right !
