Despite that near meltdown in the first set (which threatened to happen again in the second - two breaks of service, two breaks back!), Charlie nevertheless manages to qualify:
FQR: (qWC) Charles Broom WR 432 (= CH) defeated Jason Jung (TPE) WR 262 by 7-6(9) 6-4
This will take Dan to 71 points so far and into the top 500. Unfortunately at the same time Anton will be dropping Nottingham 2 Challenger QF points from last year and he will fall out of the top 500. So we will remain with at best 17 in the top 500.

Also will soon be dropping Wimbledon Qualifying points from last year as well which is his 2nd biggest score, bit of a slide down. Be interesting to see how he does in the M25's on grass.
Er, Arthur's just won the first set by 6-4 (could've been 6-2)?
I think Jajon means what on earth is going on on court ...... and Jajon, I've no idea ! I've got the match on but can't have the sound on and I've seen a LOT of disputed line calls etc - but what on earth was happening at 40-40 half-way through when Constant was sitting down and Arthur was at the end of the court and there seemed to be almost like a standoff for 5 mins - NO idea !

Played well too. But at 2-2 (i think) it went to deuce and then Lestienne just ran to his chair and sat down and refused to play? Then Fery started arguing with him or the umpire. Lestienne was then given a warning for delaying the game or something and then just carried on as normal? Very strange

Ah, now I see. I was unable to comment, as I'm watching's Cam's match against Dimitrov at Queen's on BBC2 (with the cat curled up in the crook of my right arm ) & he's in trouble in the final set...
