QF: (Q) Harrison Adams (USA) WR 1295 (CH = 442 in February 2019) vs (8) Jay Clarke WR 498
Adams beat the top seed, Gengel, in straight sets (7-6(1) 6-1)...

Jay was losing 6-3 3-1 then retired.
Looks like he is scheduled for a week off then moving onto Clay in Antalya.

Jay posted the following on his Instagram story regarding his withdrawal.

Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for all the concerned messages.
My wrist is absolutely fine and I have no problems with that however I struggled a lot the last 2-3 days with pain in my elbow after consulting with the physio he said it looks an overuse injury due to the amount of tennis/ matches I have played in the last 3 weeks (compared to none last 5-6 months)
So it's nothing serious to worry about but it is very painful at the moment. I will go back home to regroup, fix the issue and then continue to build on the small momentum that I have made out here.
Thanks for reading!
