Marvellous, well done Oli T!

 He looked good. Stays down low when he strikes the ball, flexible knees.

I don't know why we're so surprised at him beating a player ranked something like 500 places higher than him as he's already done it twice in qualifying.

Arthur Ferry looking fine too. Two thirds of the way there now. 

 I don't think anyone is majorly surprised smile

The betting sites had Leandro at 1.8x and Tarvet at 2x

And for everyone who watched both players last week, they probably had a punt on Oli at those odds (or would have done so if they were betting people)

But majorly pleased,yes biggrin

Medvedev (9) the first men's seed to bow out, in four sets to Benjamin Bonzi (7-6(2) 3-6 7-6(2) 6-2).

The first Brit bites the dust:

L128:  Mattia Bellucci (ITA) WR 73 defeated (WC) Oliver Crawford WR 248 by 6-7(2) 6-3 6-4 6-4

 Looks like Oli C put up a fight, but it was always a relatively hard draw, I think. 

Cam in a fight now, could be a five setter

And now Tsitsipas (24) has retired at two sets down (3-6 2-6) against another Frenchman, Valentin Royer.

Arthur getting so many chances but to be fair the Australian is slamming most of them shut.
