George has so much ability, If he can steal this 4th set, I'd have him as favourite for the match.

Again great optimism but he's not won a point on serve this set yet! I'd be gobsmacked if wins but I'll be happy to be wrong.

won 1 now hmm

Become a breakathon, with 5 breaks to start set 4, and yes just that one point on serve for George.

2-3*

And 5-2 now - cant see anyway back for Loffers

Fritz beat Mpetshi Perricard 6-4 in the 5th.

Jay Clarke doing much better in the second set. Leads 3-1.
Evo got the break back, quickly, though and will be 3 all shortly
Well yes, after *40-0 became later a couple of deuces.
Dan 6-1 3-3*

Dan takes the second set 7-5.

I think it's fair to say that the first set wasn't a fair representation of what Jay can do on a tennis court.

Ah George, so many weapons, such little consistency. Plenty of time to put that right though in the next few years.

Priesty · Challenger level

Yes had high hopes for Loffers after the first set but faded away somewhat disappointingly after that.

Danny1312 · Intermediate Club Player

Very disappointing from George more because he had the tools just couldn't hold it together! Learning experience needs a full season injury free. Still look at him as someone who has enough to go way higher!

Not a terribly thrilling match, I think. Alexandre Müller (or NoDjo (6)) for Dan in the next round...

I said to a colleague at work Bublik is dangerous! But I wouldn't count out him being beaten on an off day before that biggrin
