Lloyd started well but Olaso took control well. Oh well.

So we are down to James Ward and Aiden McHugh left in it. Aiden up next

Aiden 0-3 down already, although Guez has saved 5 break points. Looking like just James Ward for me to watch tomorrow then as far as British involvement looks.

Please also note James Ward has used 2 x MDWC this year. If he gets another at Loughborough, he will not be able to use anymore this year other than in a GS.

 Well spotted Paulisi, I was just wondering the same thing regarding James. Cant see him getting a WC for Queens as the likes of Cam, Liam and Jay would likely be in front of him for that. Probably a QWC for Wimbledon and a MDWC for one of the lesser grass tournaments.

Not seen Aidan since he won a G5 at Liverpool. Very impressed for someone so young.
Big serve, huge forehand and decent at the net. You can see why he is a top junior.

With a bit more consistency on his serve and experience will improve this shot selection, then he could easily do what Jay Clarke has done.

 Yes. As per last year at roehampton, I thought he had really excellent ball skills, well beyond the norm for tennis players. Definitely warranted a fiver. I know he was worried  about his height. But he's not the smallest. He's  a real crowd pleaser to watch too.

Yes, I didn't see much today but pretty impressed with what I did see. Stepped up again since I last saw him.

Given the boys develop in relative overall ability and ranking terms much slower than the girls plenty time on his side.

There are currently only 6 boys in the live under 18 top 1000 rankings, which Aidan must be very close to with the 10 points he has already. And only 2 in the top 800, which Aidan wouldn't have been far off if he'd won today. I certainly see him continuing to develop and fairly swiftly moving up the rankings
