Looks like I jinxed George!

He really needs to stop losing matches after winerning the first set. Hopefully as he gets older he will get strong mentallyas when I saw him at Wimbledon he's got all the shots.

I think the mental side is what seems to be allowing Draper to stand out over George and Aidan as Draper seems to love a scrap and is ableto come through those tight matches.

Yes, absolutely. I've mentioned George's tendency to go AWOL at important moments too - and it's a tricky thing to teach. Agree also that Jack seems particularly strong in that regard too.

Got to feel for Ben Jones - he was a set up against Pauffley in R1 only for Neil to go through in the end last week too.

Yeah, and part of the EU....
maybe someone better at tennis rules (and geography) would know why he's got Reunion marked as nationality.

I don't know their exact criteria for splitting countries but I've seen players from other Départements d'Outre Mer (DOM) shown as playing for Guadeloupe, Martinique, etc, too - the same goes for New Caledonia, though that's a different kind of French territory - a TOM rather than a DOM. They classify Hong Kong as separate from China too and Puerto Rico as separate from the US, though in those two cases, they have separate Davis Cup teams too, whereas Réunion and the other DOMs don't have separate DC teams.

Tiran 5-5* Jack

Tiran won the first 3 games ( 2 breaks ), Jack the next 5 ( 3 breaks ), and then Tiran broke again and held.

Jack-the-Ruthless breaks Tiran just at the right moment despite Tiran being 40-0 up....

7-5 to the youngster

Isaac Stoute and Quentin Robert have conceded a walkover in their doubles.

Gives a win to Lloyd and Aidan.

Re the wild cards - The winner of 18s nationals gets two main draw wild cards that they can use at any GB 15K of their choosing, hence Daniel Martin getting one this week. He'll also be due another. The runner up also gets one, so Jake Hersey will probably be using that next week as he is on the entry list. The 16U winner also gets one but Harry Lazell isn't on the entry list so assume he'll be waiting until next year.
