Looks like no men will even make the FQR pretty depressing really. The case for any sort of QWC isn't there. Play offs for the lot of them I'd imagine. Liam and Ed might get one but both off form.

Lloyd has managed to make it one set all against Falla.

But is 0-1* down in the third

A junior playing Groth on grass is like anyone playing Nadal on clay, almost impossible.

Young Barnaby is 5-3 up against Ebden.

Lloyd still a break down in the third though....

Well done Lloyd great comeback. Falla not bad on grass for a South American. Took a 2 set lead against Federer in his prime I seem to remember and was a break up in the 3rd. Chance of a lucky loser slot as well is he loses you'd imagine.

Have to confess I know nothing about Barnaby, again Ebden no slouch on grass. Does tend to suffer from injury though.

Barnaby was based in Spain for quite a long time. And may well still be. As such, he didn't get his junior ranking up until quite recently because he wasn't so involved in the ITF Junior circuit. Never seen him play.

But with Ryan coming so close, and Barnaby getting (at least) one set - and the other juniors not disgracing themselves either - it's definitely a positive.

I know Barnaby was based in Spain for a while as you said - Barcelona to be precise.  I only know that because when I was standing in the queue in Belgium on THAT day in 2015, I found myself chatting to a couple in front of me who turned out to be Barnaby's parents.

I think I have seen somewhere though that he is now back in the UK and training with Nottingham ?  If I am wrong, I am sure somebody will put me right.

Terrific effort from young Barnaby but he goes down 6-4 in the 3rd.
