Unfortunate that Liam and Jay are in the same section.

It is unfortunate that Liam has to qualify at all.  His points from St Petersburg mean that this should be his last appearance in challenger qualies for a while.

Topsy turvy first set for Jay, who went up a break, got broken back, broke again, and then there was an injury break at *5-4 for someone.

But Jay wins the set 6-4

Ive seen a fair bit of Tom Fawcett, decent college player big fella, psychologically tough enjoys a bit of mind games nothing to bad just miraculous recovers from injuries, Cam would eat him up, Jay should do the same if on form.

 1 and 1, good win for Alex.

 

Made me think - not sure what Cam is like on clay but assuming that Spain choose clay indoors for DC toe v GB in Feb, Alex Ward could  be a candidate to be picked. Kyle and Cam or Kyle and Alex on clay?? Assuming Andy doesnt play of course. Has Cam got any clay experience at all??

He partnered Clay Thompson in the doubles in Aptos

The only times he has played on clay in seniors were the GB clay Futures (remember them?) in 2013 - he went out to Dan Cox in the QFs in Bournemouth, to Borna Coric in QR2 in Edinburgh & to Jason Kubler in R2 in Newcastle. He reached a junior Grade 2 final on clay in 2012 but his singles record on clay courts in top level junior events (GA/G1) was atrocious, though he did quite well in doubles on that surface. 

 

 

Excellent win for Alex

As steven points out:

"Evan will be the 3rd King Cam has played in a month, not to be confused with Kevin King (Cary final) or Darian King (tomorrow) #the3kings"
