Billy Harris' win earlier means that (so far) he is the only mens or womens player to have won a main draw match at all 3 of the M/W25 events played in GB this year. I say so far, as Ali Gray could also get a win at all 3 if he wins his match which is currently being played, and he should.

And Ali indeed joins Billy in this little club.

With Paul still playing, in the 3 mens domestic ITF's , so far, we have had 11, 10 and 10/11 round 1 wins respectively. Consistent. With 27, 22 and 10/11 (and counting) wins in total in the men's events

According to Tennis Abstract , Billy and Stuart are the two highest ranked players in world that have never played a Challenger event. Felix features in the top 10. Ali also features in the top 10 of players that have never won a challenger match.

Presumably all 4 of them will get chances in the grass season to fix those records .

Several very interesting matches there, but PJ versus JPJ stands out for me.

Not least because JPJ upset PJ from a set down when they met in Cairo last April!

Interesting. Paul has lately been in much better form than he was then so even though Jack should have improved too I see Paul winning, maybe fairly comfortably.

I'll take Stuart, Aidan, Felix, Alastair and Paul to win the all British matches.

I think maybe a round too far for Oliver so 5 in the QF. But go Oliver, show otherwise. Certainly looks a chance.

5 all Brits matches v interesting, Billy v Felix Id just take Billy , who won their only head to head in Antalya, albeit on clay and 7-5 third set. Going to be intriguing.

I assume this is Challenger main draw. Pretty sure Billy has played qualifying in the past.

Think my money is on Felix. Billy has a better level on outdoor clay than he does on indoor hard imo. Not actually sure if these GB events have been the best for him. Going overseas and continuing on the clay might have been better.
