Brilliant to see one of our top college boys, Julian Cash, back from surgery and playing well - he put out Luke Johnson, approx ATP 700, today, 7-5 in the third.

The rest all went according to ranking, although George Houghton needed a third set TB to get past Rob Carter (who is obviously better than unranked, anyway).

In terms of other seeds, Nico Rosenzweig only just got past a qualifier too, Millen Hurrion, and plays Oliver Okwonko (born 2000) next who impressed me at Surbiton and should, I think, benefit hugely from US college tennis.

Binding needed three sets to get past Joe Tyler who many people rate. And Mike Shaw also needed three to beat George Foster.

Oh dear, Ollie O got trounced by the ambidextrous Frenchman (who's now a coach over here, I think). Got that spot on, CD ...... :(

In terms of seeds, Josh Rose def. Mike Shaw and Henry Patten def. Jonnie Binding.

Local lad, George H, is still going well. As is Julian, see above.

A good standard of indigenous tennis, I think the standards improved over the last 5 years or perhaps I just know the players better.

Lots of names there well known to us through junior ITF tennis and then futures suggesting lots of coaching from a young age (and Sean H) It will be very interesting to see how Henry Pattern does after his (ITA national doubles win) very successful end to 2018 in US College tennis.

He dominates a relatively week conference but has had national succcess of the sort we last saw on the men's side with Lloyd Glasspool but he had been recruited to an elite college programme at Texas. That is a good win against Jonnie who is one of our better Ex UK college players with a fair amount of ITF experience.

A very good start to the year for Sean, a number of players here beat him last year, Issac Stoute, Jonnie Binding bit he looks to have been pretty dominant here, difficult to know how match fit Julian is but he has beaten some decent players so presumably not far off his best.
