Andy vs Popryn 3rd match on Centre

Jack vs Navone 4th match on Centre

Dan vs Nakashima 3rd match Court 1

Billy Harris vs Etcheverry 3rd match on Court 5

[Sallydaisy]

Cam has taken the first set on a tie-breaker 7'6(6) but
Raonic has an early break in the 2nd set and is serving at *2-0.

[clancy]

Raonic has taken the 3rd set in a tight tie break.

[Sallydaisy]

Humph!
:grr:

Needless to say it went to a tie-break in the 3rd set.
Raonic won ...6'7(6), 6'3, 7'6(9) ... serving 47 Aces in those 3 sets.

[JAMES4578]

unfortunately one that got away from Cameron, did have a shot on his mp though difficult to counteract all the aces.

[Sallydaisy]

Mixed fortunes for British players so far at Queens.

Cam Norrie lost to Raonic (on a tie-break of course)
Dan Evans has just retired giving Nakashima a w/o with the score Evo 6'4, 3'6.

Billy Harris , WR162, has just beaten Etcheverry (ARG, WR32) 6'4, 3'6, 6'3.

[exislander]

Oh no! That could be Andy/Dan out of the Doubles!

[Sallydaisy]

Dan took a fall at the back of the court so perhaps he thought it best to
retire and get checked out rather than play on and risk further problems?

[Sallydaisy]

Dan/Andy out of the Queens Doubles, replaced by LL.
:sad:

Apparently Dan heard a 'crack' from his groin when he fell
but is more worried about his knee problem. Will be having
a scan in 48 hours after the injury has settled down.

Right thing if it means he will recover for Wimbledon

[Sallydaisy]

Now for Jack Draper!
Let's see if he is still fired up from his win in Stuttgart on Sunday.

So far, so good. He's up 3-1 on Navone with the Argentinian to serve next.

[Sallydaisy]

:hmm:
Navone is finding his feet and has broken Jack once but the Brit is still ahead.
Draper serving at *4-3.

[Sallydaisy]

Well they're not hanging about are they?
Jack has just taken the first set 6'3.
:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Good start for Jack Draper at Queens, posts a 6'3, 6'2 win and off court pdq,

[JAMES4578]

Jack was certainly impressive, well done! Alcaraz next mind you. Just hope Dan will be ok for Wimbledon.

[Stell]

I agree, JAMES4578, about Jack being impressive. I was also delighted for Billy Harris winning his match yesterday against Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

[JAMES4578]

yes certainly was a good win for Billy Harris!

[exislander]

Draper took set 1 in tiebreak against Alcaraz.

[exislander]

Draper wins 7-6 6-3!

[Jane]

:cheer::cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Amazing performance from Jack, maybe not the best of Alcaraz but a strong performance from Draper. Even when he went down 0-30 at 5-3 would not be denied. :cheer::cheer:

[exislander]

Harris won 6-4 7-5!

[pabbers]

Wow! Just in time to cheer us up for our Andy farewell. Draper is amazing such an all rounder already. Think he'll go far. To be honest I have never been able to quite get how Norrie suddenly shot up the rankings. I think he's now finding his level. But adding volleying to his game, as he is, may help him rise again. Anyway, happy to watch Jack!

[HoopGirl]

Just read about Jack and delighted to hear his news.
Alcarez is a big scalp to take!

[cazza99]

Well done Jack :clap: :clap:

Well done Billy :clap: :clap:

[Sallydaisy]

Fantastic wins for Jack Draper and Billy Harris!
:yahoo:

[lovetennis]

Just the day we needed to cheer us up. Super wins from Jack and Billy. Fantastic :strawberry:

[HoopGirl]

And Billy! Big wins for him too

[Genbrit]

Well done to Jack & Billy. Was a great pick me up.

[Stell]

When I heard Jack had beaten Sinner in the past, I thought he (Jack) could beat Alcaraz. The way Jack played was fantastic and then for Billy Harris to win as well made it extra special.

[Sallydaisy]

Billy's match v Musetti started 20mins ago on Centre.
Musetti made a strong start with a 3-0 lead before Billy managed to hold a service game.
Musetti now serving at *3-1, deuce

[Sallydaisy]

Musetti takes the first set 6'3.

[Sallydaisy]

Musetti wins 6'3, 7'5.
Billy played much better in the 2nd set but the Italian showed why he's ranked 30 in the world.

Next up - Jack Draper v Tommy Paul.
:GBflag:

[Speedy Hawk]

Hopefully Draper keep focus today after beating Carlos yesterday. I seen far too many times when after great win and lose next match. As long he focus he be fine and win this match.

[Speedy Hawk]

Well done Draper got focus back after losing 1st set, he won 2nd set.

[Jane]

:thumbup:

[Speedy Hawk]

Bummer, he lost (very common thing to happen beat high level player then lose next round), I thought he might win after 2nd set but no.

[Sallydaisy]

Good fight from Jack but I think he started to tire a bit in the last 2 or 3 games.
Paul showed his experience too; he had to work hard for it though!
Tommy Paul d Jack Draper 6'3, 5'7, 6'4 ... and by 90 points to 86. That's close.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly a good effort from Jack but could not quite reach the same level as yesterday, was still tight in the end though! still certainly a lot to be proud of going forward, A good run for Harris too.

[pabbers]

:crying:

[Stell]

Disappointed for Draper, but a good run for Harris.

[Sallydaisy]

Skupski/Venus into the Final at Queens.
In the Final they're up against Fritz/Khachanov.
