Wild swings of fortunes in Jay's match - Jay went 5-3 up in the 1st set but Sugita, who had lost 15 of his last 16 matches on clay (though the win was against a top 100 player - Lloyd Harris), then won 7 games in a row to go a set and a break up (6-3 3-0 then 4-1) but Jay ended up winning the last 9 games of the match to salvage the 2nd set and then bagel Sugita in the 3rd!

L32: (7) Federico Gaio (ITA) WR 185 beat Paul Jubb WR 231 by 6-4 6-1
Didnt spot this yesterday, shame Paul couldnt keep on his clay court horse. But hes a couple more events this trip so hopefully we will see him get a decent result

He's seeded five next week Jon, so not such a tough entry list (Jay is seeded three). Hopefully that will mean they both get a decent way through the tournamen.

Yeah, I had noticed that - and we think not on clay if the ATP site is correct re Morelos - still not 100% clear on the logic there - and the hardcourts will certainly suit Jay more, if indeed they are hardcourts!

So I found the Instagram account for the Morelos Open, it says the venue is Hotel Racquet Cuernavaca, a quick google satellite view of the place shows only hardcourts there.

Good sleuthing! Well, I will stop banging on and just wish the lads good luck on the hard courts next week!
Jay takes the first set against Cazaux. His opponent is only 19 but reached a junior CH of 4, so not a pushover! So far he's served nine aces to Jay's one.
