I'm glad you got that typo sorted out biggrin biggrin

Agreed - those draws are probably as good as it gets and not just round one but going into round 2 largely free of bogies.

Andy v Machac - I think he has played and lost to Machac a couple of times? Of course, Andy probably wont play, but nonetheless

Haha! I think the original still applies.

Jacks draw not great. Norrie in R2, Zverev in R3 and Fritz in R4 if he gets there.

So you've got to 'expect' them all to lose
And simply take pleasure in the odd win here or there

The only one, to me, which was 100% one-sided was Jack PJ's match (and where the odds were truly mad - I put a huge bet (for me) on Lucas, it made no sense at all)

But all the others were in with a shout - they didn't look as though they didn't belong on the court

Of course it was lovely for Jay to win - he had a big family/friend contingent rooting for him (and Colin Beecher watching on). And his speech when he said he was close to quitting tennis last year or whenever was quite telling.

Very pleased for him

PS The Fonseca match was great - the guy's only 17 still, it went to a 10-point MTB in the third - he was 5-9 down, came back, and just lost at the finish - tons of Brazilian fans were disappointed but still smiling

As steven and I were saying about the madness of the odds for Jack PJ against Pouille, just to note that Lucas has now made the L32 in the main draw of Wimbledon biggrin
