Billy going well so far. Felt like 2 or 3 of our lads could get through here, 2 most likely - hope Billy makes it 1!

Not much in it but Billy comes out the wrong side of that second set

Haven't seen Billy play for a while and really enjoyed watching that match

Billy looking strong and happy on clay - a touch erratic, as he often is, but less so than he used to be

Great win

Well done Billy! After his last few months, this is a surprising but welcome result.

Was it me, or his arm position or does Billy have a pretty extreme grip on his serve?

Either way, fab win. A few points and a nice payday! Enjoyed that!

Well done Billy, thats a great win! Hoped he might do it, he was my 1 1/2 choice - Jan being the 1.

Billy has done well on clay in the past, good to see him get into it again.

How much does he earn for that win?

 The qualifying rounds have had the biggest increases from 2023 level, which I think is good to see. If you're already winning £2 million the odd tens of thousands isn't going to make a massive difference I'm imagining... The first round is just over £17k, the second round slightly over £24k. If he reaches the third round it would be £35k, so well worth entering and winning a couple of rounds!

Oli and Ryan playing today - not sure I can see Ryan winning over Wolf, although Wolf is distracted by posting score updates on this forum.

Oli stands a chance I think, but still the underdog.
