John Inverdales commentary has led me to take up smoking again
Just tobacco I hope ?!
For now!
I have different commentators, watching on the BBC website. Have to say they're not great, but I didn't realise I was managing to avoid John Inverdale!!
First time I've seen Ali Gray play, he has some weapons! He has hit some impressive shots, that OH backhand has produced some lovely winners. I would say he maybe isn't a natural tactician and did let his opponent back in it for part of the 2nd set. His opponent doesn't seem all too comfortable on grass either.
L128: (WC) Ryan Peniston WR 135 (= CH ) defeated Henri Laaksonen (SUI) WR 96 by 4, 3 & 2

L64: (WC) Ryan Peniston WR 135 vs Steve Johnson (USA) WR 93 (CH = 21 in July 2016)
L128: Jack Draper WR 94 defeated (WC) Zizou Bergs (BEL) WR 146 by 6-4 6-4 7-6(4)
Noisy bugger, Bergs, isn't he?

L64: (19) Alex de Miņaur (AUS) WR 27 (CH = 15 last June) vs Jack Draper WR 94
What a great result for Ryan. It feels his rise is still a bit more precarious (when compared to Jack) so really happy he managed to get a Wimbledon win under his belt. With Jack, I can imagine it will be the first many. Shame about Paul, but Ali looks like he is on the cusp of doing something great. And Liam looks like he is playing himself into his match....4-1 up in the 2nd.
