Have to be honest and say I am dreading a wipe out - and think that is highly possible.

Come on Cam. Please prove me wrong.

What a lonely lonely court. But Cam will win

4-1* down in the 5th looks bad.

Bob's feared wipe-out comes to pass:

L128: (LL) Daniel Elahi Galán (COL) WR 152 defeated Cameron Norrie WR 71 by 4-6 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1 bleh

Definitely not your fault, Bob. I feared the worst when I saw the draw, but kept it under my hat. cry

I jinxed him, and lost a fiver - normally he funds my Bet 365 account (or he used to).

11 out of 22 mens seeds to play have lost in round 1, that is a startling number. 10 still to play, we could lose half the seeds in round one at this stage. Would be great if one of the Brits could take advantage...oh, wait.

Tsitsipas in trouble, 2 sets to 1 down. 12 seeds out so far

Not so fast - he wins in 5. As did Rublev via Querry earlier on -both players coming back from two sets down to win fornthe first time.
