Jack P-Jones lost 3-6 2-6

The start and middle of the second set were actually very close.

Indeed, Jack played far better, today and yesterday, than I'd expected.

Today's was a proper match, he did very well.

Arthur takes the first set. Felix loses the tie-break despite having a couple of set points.

Brilliant watching the two young 2002-ers.

Arthur has wrapped up the first set against Ebden in style. 6-3. And a fair score.

Felix has just lost the first set TB, 7-6(8)

Real shame. He had 3 set points in the TB and didn't really do anything wrong - played well - Polmans hit a line - nothing between the two of them all set really. But a very good match whatever

Fery is good fun to watch. Hope he can get this done today!

Couldn't agree more, SuperT.

And what sort of message does it send to fans that if you want to watch the qualis, you've got to open a betting account?

And, given covid restrictions, what are all the friend of our youngsters supposed to do? We're telling Felix and Arhtur's mates (age 19 or so) to open betting accounts? That's a REALLY good idea - not! And Jack PJ's friends are still under age and so can't even do that (or shouldn't, ay any rate)

It's shocking.

Thanks CD.  If it wasn't for Covid I'd be at Roehampton today.  I always love going there and getting to know the new crop of youngsters that I haven't seen before.  It makes it so much more interesting following their careers in later years after seeing them live.  But even a stream on the BBC web site would be better than nothing.  They obviously don't thing anyone's interested!!!

Polmans was always going to be tough. Arthur is still hanging onto his lead though at 6-3 4-2 ahead and serving, an impressive performance so far!

Losing those three set points rather took the wind out of Felix's sails and, although he hung in quite well, he was never going to win after that.

But he played well and - again - should be pretty pleased with his showing today.

Eeek Ebden broke back. Ebden also now having a medical timeout having loudly said to himself you are only on one leg but you can beat this guy which wasamusing I think. Might decide it was rude and disrespectful if he beats Fery though.

Yeah, I thought Matt looked a bit disgruntled and possibly carrying some injury of other in the first set.

He also went off for a long break at the end of the first set.

He can be rude about our Arthur if he likes - but karma might just come round and bite him in the behind !

I think Indy was meaning you've got tech gremlins in your phone, not illiteracy gremlins in your head
