Joe and Rajeev could meet in round two. Jamie could meet Rajeev in round one.

Didn't see the first set but I've been watching since 0-3 in set 2.

Jake's been struggling to hit through O'Connell from the back. Not getting enough cheap serve points on a fast court and then the Aussie is moving him around with ease in the rallies, either lining up a big forehand or getting Jake out of position with the slice so he makes an error

Jake getting a bit frustrated. Netted a forehand at 30-30 on O'Connell's serve, down 0-1 in the 3rd, and let out a big yell.

Has just held though for 1-2 to stop the rot.

Decent hold after getting pegged back from 40-0. Found a great backhand down the line on the deuce point and then a big serve out wide.

6-4, 1-6, 3-2

Half a chance for Jake at 30-30 on the O'Connell but put a forehand inches wide, really close call.

6-4, 1-6, 3-3

Massive hold for Jake. 2 double faults and a netted forehand and he was in real trouble at 15-40 down.

Four points in a row and a big c'mon as he holds for 4-3
