Got to like Jakes draw there - Borg isnt what his Dad was, despite lots of wild cards thrown at him.

Cam not on form, but maybe clay and the inconsistency of Gaston will play in his favour.

Despite the huge gap in ranking the clay has levelled the playing field smile . However Jacob takes the first set 7-5

Jacob is currently a break up in the second at *4-2 15-40 but break point down. Cam is about to start.

Not sure about his chances in that one...

Not sure about either of their chances of making main draw. Jake didn't look particularly comfortable in his first match on the clay. Will need to play a lot better to get past Galan, who's a proper dirtballer.

Sheddie · administrator

Jake battling but hasn't quite mastered the art of moving on the dirt - doesn't always look fully comfortable when he sets himself up for shots.

Galan has the first set 7-5 and the break at 2-1 in the second
