 Nys and Roger-Vasselin are now the only pair who can take the final spot in Turin off Harrison and King. Lots of incentive against H and H. Still got a chance in Metz or Athens but a decent run this week would be big for them. 

Harri, in his blog, says the court pace index here is 35, against 45 last year, and in line with Shanghai. The balls are also playing inconsistently in terms of bounce, even from the same tin.

Right time of the season to play him!  One of two WCs/cousins, Rinderknech or Vacherot, in the last 16...

Vacherot repeated his Shanghai victory (6-7(9) 6-3 6-4), so:

L16:  Cameron Norrie WR 31 vs (WC) Valentin Vacherot (MON) WR 40 (CH = 39 last week)

 I expected Rinderknech would win today, just because. But it actually followed the pattern of their Shanghai final in fact.

 All the Brits play their doubles last 16 today, and Cam is also in action in singles last 16. Good luck to all!

Vacherot only won 11 points on Norrie's serve. I guess it's all about winning the right points.

Cam looked the better player in the first half of the first set. He was moving Vacherot around left and right but not necessarily winning points as many were high bouncing topspin and not wide enough.

Then Vacherot played the tie break better. 1st set and took confidence from that.

Cam served 2nd set well. I didn't see the actual game where he was broken but Vacherot edged the play in the 2nd set and from what I saw he played 2-3 more special shots (plus two that caught the net and dropped straight down). That was enough
