As a guide, Ajdukovic played and lost 7-6 6-4 to Paul Jubb last week in Nottingham opening match. Arthur seems to be tracking that score pretty closely right now, with the first set 6-4.

Important match for Arthur, therefore, not just for this week but also in terms of potential wild card - a loss would presumably place him behind Paul, a win would keep him in with a shout?

 I think Arthur will be ahead of Paul whatever.

Anyway, into a second set TB, 6-4 6-6 (*2-1)

 Well, he got the win, so that is good, 6-4 7-6

I think he would be , yes, but a loss wouldnt have helped or looked good on the optics.

 Yes, good to get the win but I do very much doubt that comparative results against one particular player was ever likely to effect things much at all. Arthur was IMO likely to be ahead of Paul whatever.

 Maybe not, but as the week progresses, if Paul was to do better than Arthur , things could change and I do think they are both in competition (with Ryan, Jan, Charlie) for those final slots - sure there will be a pecking order that we all have in mind based on rankings, recent form, etc but this week could still change that order of things. So I think it is an important win for Arthur.

 Paul has already lost pretty comprehensively in Queen's qualifying.

 Ok, hadnt seen that, or more likely didnt remember that! Nonetheless, I guess what I am saying is that there a few players vying, Arthur is one of them and a win does his changes no harm at all. But, yes, maybe Paul's chances are slipping away, given that loss at Queens!  

Charlie doing well so far against Kukushkin - show the LTA Charlie!

Kukushkin has played Fery, Jubb, Harris (twice) on grass recently, must be improving his English vocabulary very well off the back of those and this!
