Those are nice, clean results. Well done, both.

We've got a lot of young adult players in action this week (although Jack's injury and George's AWOL form haven't helped).

Interesting....

More serving woes, Anton served 3 double faults out of 7 1st serves

But is still 4-0 up

If you've got a first serve like Anton's, it's not a bad tactic to do first second serves, no? And risk the higher DF count ?

Seriously a toilet break after 30 minutes

Bit of a blip start of the 2nd set when the double fault tally went from zero to 3 in the blink of an eye.

Well done Anton, reached his seeding level which is the key for confidence I always believe - play to expectations and then press on

First set to Anton, 6-4
