Despite all of Cam's success on clay earlier in the year, he has lost to Cerundolo in the first round.

Jack Draper is on court now.

Cam seems to have lost the plot

Jack Draper makes it through against Baez by 6'3, 7'5!
:yahoo:

Shame about Cam ... hope he can do better in the lead up to RollyG!

[JAMES4578]

Good to see Jack through, well done! A few disappointing losses for Cameron lately but hopefully gets back on track.

[Sallydaisy]

Evo won the first set, lost the 2nd and now it's all down to whether he can regroup and take the 3rd set against Ivashka to progress to the next round.

Jack lost the first set (and first 5 games in a row) to Hurkacz, 1-6, but has just held serve again at the start of the 2nd set so who knows? I guess for Jack it's the first time he'll be playing a lot of the seasoned player at the top of the tour so it'll take him time to work out tactics.

Oooooh, in the time it's taken to type this post Jack has broken Huby's serve to go 2-0 up in the 2nd set.

C'mon GB!!!
:GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

Evo lost in 3.

Jack is battling on having taken the second set on a tie-breaker.
:thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

Hurkacz won the decider 7-5.

[JAMES4578]

It certainly was a good effort from Jack, just pity he could not find a way in the end after breaking back.

[JAMES4578]

Djokovic went out to Musetti 6-4 in the 3rd yesterday but Lorenzo no match for Sinner, Medvedev and Tsitsipas out now to Rune and Fritz in straights. Zverev though really should have ended Daniil's hopes yesterday, so many chances!

Rune vs Rublev

[HoopGirl]

What time is the final?

[Sallydaisy]

It's already started and into a 3rd set.
From Twitter:

Match back on. After Holger Rune has a break point for 5-1 in the third set, Rune loses his edge. Fails to break. Fails to hold with two double faults and a glaring error and screams "Give me something!" in his chair on the changeoverBack on serve vs Rublev
Rune just held serve; Rublev to serve to stay in the match.
Rune v Rublev 7'5, 2'6, 5'4

[themass15]

Really pleased Rublev won. Was hoping Sinner would be in the final. Rune will have many more chances.

[JAMES4578]

Good final , Rune fell away somewhat when had the chance but to his credit Rublev kept him under pressure for his first Masters title. Disappointing Sinner lost in semi mind you.

So happy for Andrey :) the only match I’ve got to see this week too!
