L32:  (WC) Michele Ribecai (ITA) WR 772 defeated Liam Broady WR 632 by 3 & 4 

Sadly I think Liam needs to begin thinking about his post tennis career.  He has chosen a slightly odd selection of tournaments so far this year if his goal was to get back up the rankings and with his age and the fact that he does seem to be simply trying to manage the injury that ruined last year for him it is difficult to see him getting anywhere close to where he was.

He has the looks and charisma for a media career I think and if that appeals he has a relative who might be able to make the right introductions!

 I wonder if hes thinking one last hurrah at Wimbledon, take some decent money from there, and call it a day. I agree, hes not getting anywhere and playing clan he doesnt need to and could be gaining more points elsewhere, doesnt seem like someone trying to forge back up the rankings. 

If it was his last one, Wimbledon might give him a MDWC, not sure other grass events would, maybe the challengers.

 He has been commenting on some tournaments on Sky when he was not playing this year.

 I'm much less convinced about Liam than Naomi in this regard. But hey looks and charisma are in the eye of the beholder, all the best to him.

L32:  Kyle Edmund WR 512 defeated (Q) Giacomo Crisostomo (ITA) WR 1550 by 5 & 3

He led by a break in the first set, but was broken when he served for it at 5-4 & was then broken when he served for the match at 5-1 in the second, but he got there in the end!

Pleased to see he got a victory. Even if nervy. Was hoping for another but I think a win in the next round is asking too much first outing ..
