Looks like Jack will definitely get through according to bbc report:

What I want to know though is - will it be as acrimonious a battle as Kramer v Kramer? And will it be as big a box office hit?? wink

I like this from Jack

Speaking about Evans, Draper told BBC Sport: "He's a really nice human being and whenever I've had moments where I've not felt great he's always sent me a message, and I appreciate that from an older player.

"He definitely cares and it's the same with Murray and [Cameron] Norrie - they've paved the way for me a little bit and they've always been supportive in my practice sessions and given me the confidence I've needed to get to this level quicker, so I'm very grateful to the likes of Dan."

Dan will love being called an older player!!

Back at the scene of his greatest triumph Cam Norrie cruises to 6-2 first set against qualifier Wu Tung-lin. Only dropped two points on his serve in the whole set.

Cam serves to take the second set 6-2 as well after some initial resistance from Wu (who lead 2-1 and took Cam to deuce on his serve for a 3-1 lead before Cam's toughed it out), but Wu doesn't know when he's beat, breaks Cam's serve for 3-5, holds his serve, making Cam work unexpectedly hard to get over the line 6-4.

Which on face value seems to favour Andy. ButI predict a 3 hour long slug fest for this one, what do you reckon guys?

Albot is one of those players who has a good game and I am always surprised he is not ranked much higher than he is, such is the depth in the mens game. So........quite possibly Jon(?)

Andys match will probably overlap with Jack v Dan and Emma as well. Rubbish scheduling!

Jack and Dan played 48 mins for 7 games, 7 minutes per game. Thats a tough battle, although Jack has the break
