Arthur has had SOOOO many opportunities. He had several break points in the last game, on two of those he missed 2nd set returns. Great that he's able to hang in there with a top 30 player but he hasn't played the big points well so far - I guess expected with his lack of experience.
Arthur converted 5/20 BPs against 5/12, though to be fair most of that divergence was in the 2nd set which he won anyway.
He did lead the 1st set 5-3* and had a BP at 4-4* in the 3rd. He had 100 service points against 117, also indicating a fair bit less pressure on his serve. Total points were 107 to 110.
Pity but still a great week for him.

So, Vekic won Queens - and then lost in R1 of Wimbledon (to a qualifier)
And F. Cerundulo won the men's at Queens - and then lost in R1 of Wimbledon (to an unseeded guy)
So much for warm-up events
Yep - my post above yours didnt age well.
Its a grass thing as well - no one, really, tends to carry form through the swing like they used to and there appears little link between warm ups and Wimbledon at all
