Really odd and poor set from Johannes. Loses it 6-1.

 At this point we might be willing the clay court season back asap...

Pessimism not unwarranted:

L32:  (Q) Coleman Wong (HKG) WR 175 defeated (WC) Johannus Monday WR 244 by 6-1 5-7 6-3  cry

It's officially a rout!  Only Dan left now to fly the flag...

QR1:  (q2) Li Tu (AUS) WR 168 defeated Oliver Crawford WR 268 by 6-4 7-6(12)

Despite the tussle in the tie-break, from what I saw of the match, Tu never really looked like losing. 

Tu failed to qualify, losing out to Svajda in three sets in the FQR, got in as a lucky loser in place of Basavareddy, promptly beat Spizzirri in straight sets (3 & 3) & will face Bolt, who beat Mackenzie McDonald (8) by 6-4 7-6(3), in the last 16...  no

This is usually where we pick up a lot of random wins, so having this whitewash feels rather odd....

Evo loses the first set.

I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending...

I guess it is just the first week on grass, and folk are as of now content just to contrast things with our newly found mastery of clay.

But GB guys and gals, get the finger out and at ieast start stepping it up quite a bit in week 2.

 Evo hasn't lost his knack of commentating on the match whilst losing it ..

It truly is a whitewash in the singles:

L32:  (Q) Murphy Cassone (USA) WR 207 defeated (WC) Daniel Evans WR 213 by 7-6(5) 7-6(5)  bleh  no

Dan looked 2nd best throughout I thought, not by much .. but enough. I think maybe qualifying helped Casonne by giving him grass match practice
