Big few weeks for Jubby - he's barely been able to buy a win since last summer. Needs to build up some form ahead of the grass as he's got big points coming off from that run to the ATP Mallorca semis last year. Feels like a good decision to return to the ITFs.

Jay's currently live-ranked 230, and a title this week would put him close to being back in the top 200 (and perhaps in the process, strengthen his case for a MDWC at Wimbledon).

L32:  (2) Jay Clarke WR 251 defeated Lautaro Agustín Falabella (ARG) WR 737 by 2 & 1

L16:  (WC) Oliver Hradilek & Alex Lapsansky (SVK/SVK) UNR vs ((2) Jay Clarke & Daniil Golubev (***) CR 967 (380+587)

By the skin of his teeth, Paul is still in this match - having lost the first set and gone to a TB in the second - which he just won....

For a while in the second set, Paul was making it look as though even dropping down to M25s wasn't the answer to his problems:
