QR1: (q4) Sho Shimabukuro (JPN) WR 428 vs Jack Pinnington Jones WR 624

As is Charles, streams for both on livestream.com/atp

Jack PJ was pretty dominated in the first set. Always running after the score.

But made the second into a very competitive set - finally lost it in a TB, which was fair, overall.

About the most irritating match I've seen in ages - do all the hard work, have the chances, and then every single time, but every single time, zero focus and hideous unforced errors.

 Tough on the tour  hopefully Charlie will bounce back.  Often difficult for those who are not LTA faves to find somewhere appropriate  to train, can end up being used as a glorified hitter. Charlie was considering moving to the West Coast of America,  but has obviously decided to stay in the UK for the time being. Wishing him all the best.

L16: (PR) Ulises Blanch (USA) WR 380 (CH=236 in 2020) vs (2) Jay Clarke WR 173

They've met once before in 2021.
Potchefstroom 1, R32 - Blanch won in straight sets.

Jay loses over 60 of his circa 300 points this next few weeks, will be down around 200 unless he replaces them. Hes rated to reach the final here, so that would be a direct replacement pretty much and a good boost.
