L32: (PR) Leandro Riedi (SUI) WR 559 defeated (WC) Jay Clarke WR 190 by 3 & 2
A shame for Jay but young Leandro is one of those Laura Robson sort of players - SO much promise, so much success as a junior and then just a biblical plague of injuries .....
I really hope it's behind him now - he's had at least two big knee surgeries
L16: (WC) Henry Searle WR 427 vs (7) Tristan Schoolkate (AUS) WR 131 (CH = 119 in April)
L32: (3) Billy Harris WR 108 defeated (Q) Borna Gojo (CRO) WR 223 by 2 & 3
Hadn't appreciated that Billy has another chance to crack Top 100 this week.
He would need to win the title for any chance of top 100. That could in theory get him to WR 96 and while this early in the week there are still lots of others who could also get there, I reckon it would probably sneak him in.
In the coming 2 weeks he defends two 100 points scores! ( from his Queen's QF and Eastbourne SF ) so I was always looking at this week as his probable last top 100 opportunity for the foreseeable. But it has become a tough ask.
The pity was the big window that he did have where he had hardly anything to defend but then added hardly anything.
