5 through to QR2. I assume 'just' with that we are now talking fairly historic stuff, yet close to a few more.

  guys !

It was good to see Felix winning as the bookies thought he would, if a pity charity didn't see any winnings from that bet on Aziz Dougaz

Shame to see a lot of our heroic second rounders drawn against clay court gimps, seemingly determined to bore their way through a tennis career on this most rotten of surfaces.

Come on lads!

 I know

Meanwhile, I have borne the 10p loss to my Bet365 account in remarkably good spirits and have not marked 'this one's on Jon' against it, in any shape or form biggrin

Meanwhile, the bookies have three of our blokes as favourites today (although only two as clear favourites)

Jay v Faurel is: 1.36 v 3

Jan v P-H H is: 1.4 v 2.75

Toby v Goffin is: 1.72 v 2


For the outsiders:

Felix v Moncan is: 4 v 1.22

Arthur v Martinez is: 2.25 v 1.57

 And Jay has got off to a strong start, break in the first return game

Unfortunately back to 3-3 now

Jay lost the first set 4-6

He's getting himself caught out in whether to attack (a lot of Faurel's balls are very attackable) or whether to wait for the mistake (Faurel makes a fair few)

And by dithering rather, he's given the French youngster a bit of conifdence, and he's swinging more cleanly now

 I've often felt that one of the limitations with Jay's game is that he's just too passive. It's enough to win 25ks in the ITFs, but to get into the top 150 and beyond, he needs to go after the ball more and try to dominate
