Surprised we didn't see Oscar in qualifying again. He didn't withdraw from the qualifying list according to the ITF website and is showing on the alts list for next week still. Unless he has managed to bag himself a Wildcard for this week.

Oscar Weightman and Louis Allen with wildcards into the Main draw. Very South American feel to it with 8 Argentinas and 2 Uruguayans in the draw.
Oscar has a qualifier.

Looks a tough game for Oscar so far, 4-4 in the 1st. Faced 9 break points without getting a break point himself. Although did just hold to love for 4-4. So hopefully coming into the game more.

Oscar just broke, serving for the set.

Oscar took the first set 7-5. After he broke there was a medical time out.

Great. Another point. Another decent win, whatever the injury status of the Frenchman - the first set was very close and Oscar hung in extremely well to 'force' the retirement, so to speak.

Indeed a good win. Seemingly being 2nd best at the start of the match but just hanging in there long enough for the tide to turn is important. I'd imagine a player would learn more about themselves from that sort of win than a straight forward easy hold match and one simple break in each set.
