Out of curiosity, I looked up their opponents, having heard of none of them save Simon Carr. Zima looks potentially winnable: 17 and no huge results. The Brazilian seed looks strong on clay. Benito Sanchez Martinez could be a more difficult opponent than his ranking suggests: he's only fifteen and has played very few tournaments ... but he was decently ranked in Tennis Europe U14s despite again playing very few tournaments.

David, on the draw it shows Hamish as going through. But on the OoP it has Hamish as losing. Is there any way of knowing for certain which way round it was?

Very good win indeed for Jack. Sanchez Jover recently won the Hungary G2 in May.

 When I started writing the above it showed Hamish as winning on the drawsheet and the oop, but just as I was about to publish the ITF changed both (and I forgot to delete the QF reference - now rectified), so it would appear that they got the winner wrong and you looked at the drawsheet just before it was corrected (the host German website also has Stefan as the winner)
