The first of two G2s in Hungary with James Story and Connor Thomson. I have edited the title to acknowledge the fact that Marni Banks, Millie Bissett and Morgan Cross were all in qualifying (and Joe Leather, Finn Murgett plus Ben Heynold) - the first two losing in the final round.
Mixed fortunes with a win for James (over a top 100 ranked player) and loss for Connor. Finn, Joe and Marni are in the doubles draw (with James/Connor).
R1 (L32)
James Story d. (5) Bora Sengul (TUR) 6-4 3-6 7-6(4)
Nini Gabriel Dica (ROU) d. Connor Thomson 6-3 6-4
A first G2 semi for James. To make the final he will have to find a way past a Spanish qualifier who, though modestly ranked that is because he has only played 3 low grade tournaments - and won the lot, so yet to experience defeat in ITFs. To cap a good day he and Connor are through to their first doubles final at this level (though both have reached the semis at G1 or GA level - Wimbledon in James's case)
