I bring tidings of great joy from Nottingham

J Marray [GB] bt N Renavand [Fr] 3-6, 6-3, 7-5

L Childs [GB] bt S Gonzalez [Mex][3] 6-3, 7-5

A Parmar [GB] bt C Guccione [Aus][7] 7-6[5], 7-6[3]

Fantastic wins for all 3 !!! Jonny securing a rare win on grass and overcoming a rankings gap of over 150 places against the big-serving Frenchman. Despite being Mexican, Gonzalez is no mug on grass he beat Lee in straights in this tournament last year and pushed Boggo very close in rd2. He's now ranked 168 and has had plenty of success in challengers this year. All of which makes Lee's revenge even more impressive. After last week's disappointment, a fantastic return to form for Arvind with the predictable tiebreaks.

But, saving the best until last....

Result of the day:

C Fleming [GB] [wr:378] bt G Elseneer [Bel][4] [wr:186] 2-6, 6-3, 6-2

Woohoo !!

Congrats to all the brits especially colin, hopefully the win will boost his confidence and make some inroads in this challenger

Unfortunately he's got Goodall next

Hopefully a chance for revenge for his Felixstowe 3 set defeat. Surely Josh must be feeling a little tired by now

Great results

was anyone there today? I popped in breifly at lunchtime just to catch the end of Martin
Lee's match. I think that dispelled my belief that the brits only win when i'm watching!

Well done to all the Brits today. Good to get a nice crop of results like that. And hopefully we get more than the certain 2 beyond the next round!

Vonce · Club Coach

Some good results for the Brits today. The chances of a Brit winning the tournaments looks quite great certainly with 7 through to the 2nd round and 2 guarenteed to make it to the QF's.

Moan the Brits. Especially Fleming and Mackin, no reason in particular for that though.

You mean he's allowed another one after his QF at ATP Rotterdam? that's getting generous

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i'd forgotten about that gift :)

but he does normally pick up a challenger win a year, more often overseas tho, but with no boggo here and that great opening win surely he is feeling confident?? mackin next for the big man.
