FQR: Cameron Norrie WR 87 def (q3) Damir Dzumhur (BIH) WR 64 (CH = 23 in July 2018) 7-6(5) 7-6(6)

Saved one set point in the second set tiebreak, after failing to serve out at 5-4 earlier in the set


At least there is some good news - all the better for being somewhat unexpected!   biggrin

Im not sure Dzumhur was a tough draw on clay. His lower
Level form was often on clay; at tour level, hes been in 4 finals, 3 hard court and 1 grass.

I think Cam did ok with that draw and he got a decent win out of it. Same for khachanov, hes played 10 tour level finals and all on hard court. And won one masters, indoors in Paris. A fast surface.

I dont think Cam should think that is the worst draw by any stretch of the imagination.

 I presume there was a draw between the two highest ranked players and Jake lost out.

 Didn't spot hom down the bottom of the draw. So a draw between three players for two vacancies.

Oh, really glad Jake has got in as a LL! I wasn't much surprised he lost his FQR match, as I don't think he has much experience on clay (certainly not at this level) so it's great he has another chance to start figuring it out.

And I see he broke Carballes in the opening game and currently leads 3-1!

And a second break (on his 5th break point of the game) to lead 4-1! Did Jake sleep on it after his last clay experience and it clicked, did he do a bunch of training in the past two days or is RCB having a bad day at the office??
