I noticed that Sofascore are also showing Max Carrier as German - not sure if there is a bug in someones system as a few sites have that; unless he has actually swapped but presume DavidC or CD would know more about it if true!!

Mark Ceban a break up in the second set and just recovered from 15-40 to take the game. One more game needed.

... and he wins 7-6 (2), 6-4 beating the 5th seed Luca Preda

Super win by Mark !
Really enjoyed that - even though watching on my little phone screen
He really stepped up to the occasion

Oli B lost his mtb though

Heart-break for Oli Bonding coming back from injury, loses in the final set tie breaker 10-6 to the 14th seed.

Watched some of this - Oli did well to pull level at a set all but then fell away after leading 4-2 in the 3rd.

What was the injury? He received some treatment on his leg early on in the 3rd and then seemed to be struggling to push off on his serve. Also started using drop shots more.

Sounds like Madison Keys from yesterday who had a hamstring issue.

His previous injury, barely healed, was reported as a foot problem, I believe
But maybe he's picked up a leg one now

Wonderful to see the utter joy of Charlie Robertson
Brilliant win !

I don't know whether David prefers to incorporate the U14 events into this thread or do a dedicated one, but the draws have come out and are available here:

Very close but Charlie Robertson has just lost the first set 6-4 against a stockily built Korean player

Luke Hooper is on serve, 4-3
