Eric, Rhys, Aran, Dylan and William - starting with Eric first up on court 4

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Eric Lorimer lost 6-2 6-4

Aran is also having a lot of trouble holding his own, and lost the first set 6-1

But Rhys is playing well and doesn't seem too overawed

He was 3-1 up with points for 4-1

Has just got broken back but it's close and he's putting his tennis out there

DavidC · Tennis legend

No luck so far for the boys. I saw a few minutes of Eric's match, who needs to develop physically to be competitive with the top juniors, who are 3 years older than him, but is doing well for his age.

Aran lost 6- 1 6-2
Rhys lost 7-5 4-6 6-0

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Dylan lost against the smallest lad I've seen at this level

Dylan played well, and only lost in three sets, but he is SO one-sided - running round all his backhands - and yet his backhand is quite decent

But you can tell he's one of those players who just loves his forehand - but he gets himself well out of position and makes errors and gets winners hit against him, into the open spaces he leaves

If he'd learn to be a bit more balanced, and trust his backhand, he'd do well

Interesting to see Mark Ceban with Cruz Hewitt

DF · Tennis legend

They played each other in the first round of the J3OO at Roehampton and then joined up for the doubles there.

Just for general info, thanks to Colette, American lad, Jack Secord, won yesterday:

"Secord's mother, the former Linda Harvey Wild is a member of the Wimbledon Last Eight Club, after reaching the semifinals of women's doubles in 1996. Also a member of the US Open Final Eight Club, she having reached the singles quarterfinals in New York that same year to make the WTA Top 25."
