Coxy only beat Giannessi 7-5 in the 3rd last week so definately an improvement. He could give Dimitirov a run for his money if they both get to the quarters in this kind of form.
Willis is now 6-0, *3-0 up and is obviously carrying on the form from Canada.
That's quite an improvement from Coxy, and great to see Marcus start wit ha bagel too! Ddo you think they've seen how Dan Evans has been doing on the Futures circuit and decided they'd like to put together a bit of a winning streak too?

"....In the boys competition, in-form Briton Marcus Willis continued where he left off after winning last weeks Grade 1 Canadian Open in Montreal by beating Australian Dane Propoggia 6-0, 6-2. Willis will now play Frances Guillaume Rufin in what is likely to be a high quality encounter in the second round. So far, so good, said Willis, whose fellow Britons Daniel Cox and Daniel Smethurst also enjoyed wins on Tuesday, with Smethurst joining Willis in the second round and Cox moving ahead to the third. The win in Canada was obviously very nice for me. I fought very hard out there, though I didnt play my best tennis. Im coming here on a high and anything is possible. I know I can play better but Im being patient because it will come I think. Im just going keep working hard. Every first match is tough. He struggled with the courts because they are very fast but things couldnt have gone much better for me. I think Rufin is going to make a few more balls tomorrow so Ill have to be more patient and see what happens....."
