Not that bad looking efforts by our 4 juniors considering how hugely lacking experience they are at such a level and generally hugely out ranked they were. Probably about as much as could be realistically hoped for.

Good stuff so far from those who are much more ready for this level.

Lloyd 1 game away

James *4-2 Up

Lloyd now ZERO games away as he breaks to take the match 7-5 7-5

Mervatron2 · Futures level

Lloyd wins 7-5 7-5

Interesting that the two play-off winners have both won.

James looking promising

Evans and 2 from the 3 of Glasspool, J Ward, A Ward to progress is my prediction.

Hoping you are wrong on this one now. With wins already for Evo, Lloyd and Alex W, we have to hope for a full house. James W is 5-2* up.

QR2: Stéphane Robert (FRA) WR 157 (CH = 50 in October 2016) vs (qWC) Lloyd Glasspool WR 581

Robert dumped out the German q7, Yannick Hanfmann, in straight sets. He may be 38 now, but I can't see Lloyd getting past him.

Amusing that he can't seem to put a foot wrong as far as the unctious commentators are concerned now !! Will he get through this week without being 'antsy Dan' I wonder and if he does , will they still love him (like we do !!).

Tennis wise, he really isn't putting a foot wrong! It was a very good performance. For me, the telling stat is break points: 0/2 for Ivashka and 2/10 for Dan. 10 BPs in a 2 set grass court match! Dan could have won the much more easily.

If Dan can maintain this level, it won't be long before he is top 100, but it won't necessarily be a smooth ride. Throughout his comeback I've watched most of his matches) , Dan has shown real determination. Yes, there have been some lapses in concentration, but this is to be expected.

Thanks both. From whence does this knowledge accrue, prithee?
