Good win for Rhys over the Swiss and into the last 8

Mark is battling well against the 2nd seed and into a third set

 Well, that sort of works both ways, don't you think? And that is a good thing.

 Indeed, but it is surprising that it happens in that direction especially when nationalism is such a big issue nowadays, and not least changing allegiance to Germany when he presumably has recent ancestors who fought against the Germans. I hasten to add that I'm saying all of this from a sociological pov rather than getting worked up about traitors and needing to go put more flags on lampposts.

You would have thought Mackenzie had won the whole thing the way he reacted at the end.

 Thrilled for Rhys

Didn't see it but he's having a very good run, really pleased for him

Oliver knocks out the junior #4 and Aussie Open champ, 6-4 6-4, the Slovenian actually made the semis of Roehampton last week - so has some decent recent experience on the grass.

The boys seem to be bucking the GB trend and churning out some decent results so far. Good for them

An amazing win for Ollie!!! Hes always been a great player but quite slight, seems like a great example

of a later developer. I must say Tennis Wales do seem to be more supportive of this kind of player compared to the LTA High Performance Team. One to highlight to Judy Murray biggrinsmile

 I caught a bit of Mark's match which looked high quality.  The German (born in New Zealand to a tennis coach who moves around) looked like a red-headed version of Boris Becker, and has adopted some of his mannerisms, for better or worse.  Like Boris he knows his way around a grass court, and took Alex Bolt to a third set tiebreak in Halle

Oliver's win is a pleasant surprise, as the seeds tend to be much less vulnerable to lowly ranked wildcards in their second matches

Rhys has a very tough round 3 against the Dutch wunderkind, who has struggled with injuries, but still beat Yibing Wu (ATP 102) and lost in a third set tiebreak to Daniil Medvedev in s'Hertogenbosch

R2

(WC) Rhys Lawlor d. Flynn Thomas (SUI)  7-5 6-2                 
(WC) Oliver Page d. (4) Ziga Sesko (SLO)  6-4 6-4                   
 (9) Dimitar Kisimov (BUL)  d. (WC) Liam Channon  7-6(3) 6-4    
 (2) Jamie McKenzie (GER)  d. Mark Ceban 7-6(3) 3-6 6-4

R3

(WC) Rhys Lawlor v (11) Thijs Boogaard (NED)         Ct 18 match 1      
(15) Kuan-Shou-Chen (TPE) v (WC) Oliver Page        Ct 12 match 3

Allez, Rhys !

Little fave, Rhys-y, just played the set of his life - SO SO positive and committed, on the front foot, absolutely wellying the ball

(He's got just a touch of Wayne Rooney about him, in that cap )

Rhys won the first 6-4



Dani too has an intersting match-up against the girl who beat Mika

Not the best tennis, yet, but a tight battle, 3-3

A reversal in the second :(

Rhys didn't play that much worse, but just a touch

And Boogaard played very well

The Patrick Mouratoglou team seem to be there in abundance for Rhys which is a nice sight
