FQR: Billy Blaydes UNR defeated (q2) Patrik Niklas-Salminen (FIN) WR 765 by 3 & 4
Billy was a break down in that second set, too! Who is this lad?
He's a 2003-born lad, just out of juniors. From the north - Windermere, I think.
Got a younger brother, Freddy (there's a pattern in those names ), who also plays high level juniors.
I've got a little soft spot for Billy (and indeed Freddy) coz he reminds me of Marcus Willis - not as in dinky lefty stuff, but because he's a stockier built guy than most (as is his brother), but plays quite a careful game - it's good to see different sorts of players.

Thanks for the background info, CD. I was hoping someone would weigh in with comments. I see that young Freddy was beaten in straight sets by Alexis Canter.
