Jake Fearnley dealt quite handily with Bertand a couple of wesks ago on his way to the Orleans Challenger title. I'm not so sure though about Liam showing as the pretty clear betting favourite here. Hope my fears prove groundless.
Sadly, Indy, your fears were anything but groundless:
QR1: (q3) Robin Bertrand (FRA) WR 281 defeated Liam Broady WR 483 by 7-6(3) 6-0
Looks as though, after a decent-ish first set, he just gave up in the second.
