McHugh is the one to watch here. He has a really nice all-court game. Uses slice really well and isn't afraid of the forecourt either. In fact he seeks active use of it, unlike many/most.

Sounds like an Evo in the making! biggrin

Nice one Aidan, keep it going. Paul too.

No seeds in the QF, partly of course due to Aidan and Paul's wins. They will meet in the SF if both win their QF.

Poor Petros - that was pretty much exactly what happened to him last time against Aidan too - well, he retired in the third set there, a week or so back, but both times Petros should have won it in two, and Aidan snuck that TB, and basically killed him off

Wimbledon aside (where the manner of his loss was disappointing as opposed to the loss itself) Aidan really does seem to have stepped up in recent months and hopefully this will continue. Good to see happening.

Is it available to watch on the ATP site?

It would be ITF live streams. They showed a couple of matches from Decatur yesterday, sadly not McHugh's though.

He has a bit of a lump in the way now with Cannon Kingsley whose level against Kubler yesterday looked way above his 800s ranking; a college phenom presumably.

I think McHugh has a lovely game potentially. A bit error prone at the moment in that mistakes seem to come from anywhere. But there again, he has more nuance to his game, more grip changes than most and so on. He has an interesting gamestyle, built around his single hander, nippy movement and using slice to create, defend, attack, change pace etc. Some definite commonality with Evans, I agree. His weapon, or one of them, has to be his head and that's where he could go further than Evans if things pan out well for him.
Needs to find that quality leap now to leave Futures behind.
