Yes, what a good day.

9 GB matches.
2 GB seeds vs 7 Pesky seeds
7 GB wins vs 2 Pesky wins, quite a number hugely outranked.

Excellent

Really big wins for Finn, James Story, Harry W, Toby, Stuart...

And even the players who lost - like Patrick Brady and Ewen Lumsden - posted good, competitive scores

AND the streaming was working well..... which is a miracle at the moment

Go, James !

This event seems to be going well for the British players (ali aside!) so far - hope some of it rubs off on Evo!

 I don't know anything about James except he seems to have started winning a few matches recently.  Is he an ex college player?

 University of South Carolina.

He was a decent junior.

 I honestly don't know - I just know that I saw him play at Roehampton, outside, in 2022 - and I loved the crack off his racket and the physicality - and he was only 20 or 21 - and so he went on my list as ones I like to watch smile

 Shame for Finn - that second set was very close - Finn was maybe just a touch too passive towards the end, a bit scared to go for it
