Schedule & Info

At the halfway stage, we had eight players through to the men's second round, including Lucky Loser Richie Fallows who beat qualifier Peter Billson in straight games.

"Too many matches," said Billson, who overcame another of England's top juniors in a marathon qualifying final last night, "I just didn't have anything left."

Chris Ryder upset the seedings as he beat his Birmingham PSL teammate Jaymie Haycocks in straight games, but there were no upsets the glass court as Tom Richards, Daryl Selby, Joe Lee and Nick Matthew all won in straight games.

Matthew beat Lyell Fuller in three, although the young qualifier who had delightedly pulled himself out of the bag to face the world champion, acquitted himself well especially in the first game.

"He was definitely up for it," said Matthew, who is aiming for a record sixth title, "there was no escaping from him on twitter for the last 24 hours! I had to take him seriously, I was 18 myself once and I know what it's like to be young and hungry."

The toughest draw was for Keith Timms, who qualified via two long five-setters yesterday, coming off court last and finding himself first on against Eddie Charlton.

"I could tell he was feeling it," said Charlton as he eased through in straight games.

There were no upsets in the evening session, although Declan James had to come from two games down to see off Nottingham clubmate Ollie Holland.

"Very pleased to come through a brutal affair tonight," tweeted James, "can't wait to get back out there tomorrow night against Chris Simpson.

Simpson beat Robbie Temple in four games, Temple saving coming back from 10-6 down in the third to extend the match 15-13, and almost pulling off another recovery in the fourth as he rallied from 4-10 down only to lose it 11-9.

Charles Sharpes was also sorely tested, by Scottish qualifier Dougi Kempsell, Sharpes coming through an often contentious match 11-9 in the fifth after 84 minutes.

Meanwhile Alan Clyne, Adrian Grant, James Willstrop, and Adrian Waller and Ben Coleman (last off at 22.30) all took their expected places in round two.
