Also in such a strong event, great to see four Brits through to the second round. And JPJ and Oli T weren't far away at all.

Two wildcard wins

And Felix is more known for his clay exploits

And good scores from others too

Well done, our wildcard boys

(and Billy and Arthur, of course)

Is the singles done for the day? It still seems early and the chance to get one or two on court if they can?

It's half an hour before the scheduled start as I write less than three miles from the Priory as the crow flies. The grey mas of an hour ago has moved on and there is some blue sky amongst the clouds and the wind speed has dropped a lot. However judging by the rate of cloud movement and forecast it is unlikely to stay dry long so it might be fruitless to try and start play outdoors? Anyway, that's your almost 'on the spot weather' forecast and now we shall see what happens!

Felix is at 2-3 but it looks like the match is already interrupted

Yes, play now suspended but they not going back to the locker room, ref is saying they might get back on soon, maybe it will be an on / off day. Courts now covered.

I'm debating weather to do the gardening, I need a 2 hour window and can't be doing the hokey cokey.

Billy going down too easily for my liking. Just not clicking for him, whatever the surface
