Re Dan Smethurst I think he was coaching Aidan at Surbiton.

Yeah, I think your right re. Dan Smethurst.
We also had Top Orrie: Ed Corrie, Cam Norrie and Ryan Storrie. I think Cam has one that particular competition!

I'd forgotten that one .... smile

With only 4 R16 matches scheduled today, I'm surprised they have put Ryan back on court so early today after his epic match yesterday.

I agree, it was a long hard fought battle that ended fairly late on and he's first on court.....strange???

the scheduling does seem strange. The 4 matches arent even from the same half of the draw so come friday there will be a disparity in rest times and also if it rains again, some will be delayed. I always think in English weather it is best to schedule it in a more structured manner.

I noticed that too Jon. But even with the current schedule, Heather and Harriet both had a day off yesterday so they could have started with them.

Ryan 6-4 4-4*

Just been the one break of serve in the match. Indeed Ryan has so far only lost 9 points on serve as against 18.

A second set TB duly arrives ...

What a trooper

Great job, Ryan

Yay, well done that man, very nice to follow up today.

Really good that the ATP site stream stays with the match for the interview and all the after-match crowd stuff

(Really annoying when they cut off instantly and you barely get the handshake)

Ryan said that it might even have helped him playing the first match today, after his long match yesterday, as he felt like he hadn't stepped off the court, and had the same momentum, hadn't had chance to lose it.....
