What a first set from Toby. Broke Damm when he served for set and saved 2 set points in the breaker. Really impressive

 He did qualify and make R2 in Madrid though. Beating Popyrin, Garin and Pellegrino en route - the latter of which made R4 in Rome.

 Fair point :)

But maybe that was an outlier

He certainly looks pretty uncomfortable on clay ....#crossfingersitcontinues

Ps 'whose' - sorry, SC :)

Really well played Toby. Goffin won easily today so will be tough.

Serious question - noticed our only 2025 qualies winner was Evo (over Billy).

The question is - with 2 wins so far in QR 1, when would be the last time we achieved two wins at the FO qualies? Or more for that matter?

Cracking win! Shame he gets Goffin next - but first GS quallies outside of Wimbledon, so great experience and pay cheque. Keep it up guys.

 Billy got two wins in 2024. The thread is way back in this section so takes some finding.

 Cool; I actually meant two QR1 wins ie two separate players, but that is also something I was wondering!
