 That is a really good win, well done James!

Are James and Toby both in the last 8 now? I wasnt sure if there was a draw link, will they avoid each other if they continue to progress?

ETA - see there was one over the ladies section, but not here

https://rhineruhr2025.com/en/schedule#/h2h-sports-bracket/TEN/*

James and Toby in separate halves. I see Eliz Maloney is also at the last 8 stage, and her and Esther Adeshina in womens doubles still and Grace Piper and James Connel in mixed.

Well done the two Brits! 

out of interest- how does the Seeding work, if Friend of Japan is ranked above the Brits but unseeded ?
