He nearly did it.

Uebel wins 6-4, 3-6, 6-4

He really paid the price in that final game for missing 3 first serves

Oh well, I wonder if Josh might head to Jersey and ask for one of the wildcards

Josh had the toughest draw of all the Brits here, Uebel in rd1 and then he would have faced Peya [wr: 141] in rd2.

Mackin, Auckland and Marray have great chances of making the final qualies round but they would then probably face seeds 2,3 and 1 respectively.

Jonny is up next, he should win fairly comfortably against a Swedish wildcard.

Is rd2 qualies later today or tomorrow ? Does anyone know ?

Not allowed unfortunately.

I thought Josh had the second best draw after Jonny to be honest, very sad that he lost.

Still, Aucks through and Jonny up next.

Sheddie · administrator

What's not allowed ?

I would say Josh had the toughest rd1 draw, Uebel is ranked 296 while Alan and James' opponents are ranked outside the top 350. Plus if Josh won, he'd have had to play Peya in rd2.

Jonny should hopefully get through to rd3 but then top seed Pless is likely to be lurking

Stats on Josh's match:

He hit 12 aces, 6 doubles, served at 54% [if it had been a bit higher, maybe in the 60s I think he would have won], he won 82% of his 1st serve pts but just 49% on 2nd serve. Uebel hit 4 aces, 4 doubles, served at just 43%, won 82% of 1st serve pts and 51% of 2nd serve pts.

The stats seem to suggest that Uebel was just better than Josh from the baseline today and that was the deciding factor. Josh was generally in trouble if he missed the 1st serve.

Dam and blast it............missing to many 1st serves let josh down

Congrats to Aucks.......cmon Marray make it 2/3 for now.....and Mackin to make 3/4 please !
