Anton was 4-1 up in the second but the Finn has just taken it 7-5 so it will go to a decider, but that's it for me for the evening

Aidan served for the first set at 5-4 only to be broken back. He has rallied though to take the set on the tiebreak 7-2. Meanwhile Anton's doubles partner has retired from his singles, which might impact on their doubles match

A break in the sixth game enables Aidan to win the second set 6-3 and be our first through to round 2

Next for Aidan is a Dutch boy who upset the 11th seed, and you may recognise from three matches against jacob Fearnley earlier in the year (2-1 to him) . Emma should be on in a few minutes

Boys R2

Jesper De Jong (NED) v Aidan McHugh

Emma is going along quite nicely; 1/4 on BP, and having saved the only BP thus far against her, she leads, 5-3*

Emma romped through the second set and will play either Yasmine Mansouri of France or the second seed Alexa Noel of USA - the French girl is a set up. Whoever comes through that Emma will be favourite to beat (Mansouri has a similar WTA ranking from considerably more tournaments, while Noel owes her high junior ranking and seeding to strong performances on clay, including winning the Mexican GA

Girls R1

Emma Raducanu d. Margaryta Bilokin (UKR) 6-3 6-1

Noel wins in what was apparently a great match...and ended in an epic racket smash from the French player.

I watched a fair bit of the first two sets of Noel/Mansouri.

I was majorly unimpressed with Noel, especially given she was second seed - for those sets she was doing practically nothing with the ball - Mansouri made all the running, and had at least one MP - Noel looped, and sliced, and hung in, but it was absolutely nothing that Emma should be scared of.
Mansouri has an attractive, attacking game - just missed rather a lot of lines by an inch or two - but is a good prospect.

 Ah I stand corrected - just an assumption on my part having seen the word 'interrupted'. The break didn't do them any favours on the scoreboard but at least Anton preserved British interest in the doubles and has a chance to avenge Aidan's defeat

Doubles R1

  Hijikata/Nanda (AUS/USA) d. (4) McHugh/Skatov (GBR/KAZ) 2-6 7-5 [10-7]
Andreev/Matusevich (BUL/GBR) d. (WC) Lee/Vallabhaneni (USA) 7-6(3) 1-6 [10-5]

R2

Hijikata/Nanda (AUS/USA)  v  Andreev/Matusevich (BUL/GBR)
