Jay beat La vela easily and plays Caniato in the last 8.

Have to say, the field in the last 8 leaves Jay with a decent chance, only one other seed left in the draw.

Jay "Struggled with my stomach since lunch. I really wanted to try but shouldn't have stepped on the court"

32 points to 8 in the 8 games played. Poor lad.

At Milan Linate airport yesterday whilst waiting for our flight home yesterday morning, saw a bunch of players with kit bags and rackets who must have been playing the challenger in Genoa, not far away. Didn't see Jay, but guess he would have been out of there a day or two earlier. Didn't recognise anyone, sadly, despite desperately googling names of players that would have still been playing Friday or Saturday.
