Ahhh nice point to win. Lob!

 Yeah I thought that was smart !!

 It was a very Andy-esque touch.

 

Was that Jay's highest ranked opponent he has beaten? If not, who was?

QF:  Jay Clarke & Kevin Krawietz (GER) CR 383 (254+129) beat Yannick Hanfmann & Roberto Quiroz (GER/ECU) CR 861 (668+193)  7-6(5) 3-6 [10-5]

So Hanfmaan, like Hank before him, loses to Jay in both singles and doubles.

The SF looks likely to be enough for a new doubles CH for Jay from his limited doubles outings, taking out his CH 243 from December.

This is on paper a fantastic opportunity for the people left in this tournament to win a singles £50k with no seeds left at the quarter final stage. The highest ranked played is Arevalo at 222, although he has got a career high in top 200s.

Good luck in the quarters Jay.

Oh yes  biggrin

What do folk feel is Jay's best surface ?

I noticed in Yasmin's blog, re his early year French Clallengers that she said indoor hard was a "surface he is not yet comfortable with".

Re outdoor hard and clay I don't currently see one obviously ahead. He played quite a few clay futures in Italy and Spain last year with competent but not brilliant results and has had good runs on hard. Certainly he seems to like the clay challenge and today's is a very good result and I take it he will build on clay through the coming weeks ( down for two more Challengers in the region ) and hope to make French Open qualifying. That's looking pretty good.

Clearly has looked good on grass, but kind of more interested in thoughts on hard vs clay in the short and longer term?

 I think he looks VERY competent on clay but Ill reserve my judgement for a couple more weeks for when theyre down at sea level again. This challenger always springs up some strange results

I've lost count of how many break points (as well as 15-30 opportunities) that Jay hasn't converted between his match against Hanfmann and today. It's true that he's not been at his best today but there is no way that he shouldn't have at least a set in the bag.

Good save in long game, particularly excellent point at *15-40. Found a bit more beef in shots at times which he does need.

3-6 6-5*
