That's a very nice looking win for Billy. I watched Vukic at Eastbourne, he has a very big game.

Great to see him stringing some wins together. Another couple would go a long way to helping him make the AO qualies cut

Good to see Billy getting a good win there. Come on Billy, want to see you back into the grand slam qualies draws again

It was in fact Billy's third meeting of the season with Vukic - Billy beat him in Phoenix CH in March and then just a week or so later, Vukic won at Miami in the 1000 event qualies.

Billy clearly had got to know his opponent's game through those matches

Sure, but it works both ways doesn't it? They've both got to know one another's game very well, but it's Billy coming out on top again ..

That is a very fair and reasonable fact!

Maybe Billy simply played better on this day

I'd question how much either were particularly recalling from back in March. Probably just played their games.
