Joshu Ward Hibbert has crashed out in straight sets but David Rice is a set up and a break up in his match against Sebastian Rieschick (Germany).

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 3:25 pm

David Rice through to the next round but looking grim for Dan Evans. He is trailing 3-0 to La Nava (Spain).

Don't you think "crashed out" is maybe a little dramatic?

Perhaps - eliminated then is that better?

by ryan86 Mon 17 Jun 2013, 3:30 pm

Probably. Crashing out to me has connotations of either losing to someone you shouldn't have or the scoreline being horribly one-sided, neither of which occurred.

by ryan86 Mon 17 Jun 2013, 3:41 pm

Dan Evans appears to be crashing out however! Very Happy

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 3:45 pm

Ed Corrie level at one set all.

Like Federer v Zverev. ;-)

by ryan86 Mon 17 Jun 2013, 3:59 pm

Dan Evans appears to have awoken from the coma he was in.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:22 pm

Evans wins the second set and we go into a decider.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:27 pm

Ed Corrie is beaten by Marchenko in three tight sets.

by The Special Juan Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:28 pm

The wonderfully named Jimmy Wang has taken the first set against whoever he's playing.

An equally wonderfully named Boy Westerhoff. Laugh

by The Special Juan Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:37 pm

Boy?

How unimaginative!!

Anyway, I know this doesn't belong here but Kyle Edmund is playing against Kenny de Schepper and has gone an early break up.

by The Special Juan Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:40 pm

Wang wins! (Never thought I'd say that - sounds like the worst game of rock, paper, scissors ever).

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 4:53 pm

Evans loses. (Always thought I'd say that).

by The Special Juan Mon 17 Jun 2013, 5:30 pm

Whatever happens next, Edmund will serve for his first tour victory!! He's 5-3 at the moment.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 5:34 pm

I see he completed the win. A very good result that.

by The Special Juan Mon 17 Jun 2013, 5:37 pm

Well done to him!! His second round opponent? Gilles Simon! However, I saw a picture of Gilles earlier today and he has very heaving strapping on one of his ankles.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 17 Jun 2013, 5:42 pm

Its a win that earns him 20 ranking points and by my rough calculations that should move him up from No.442 to No.390 or thereabouts.

by ryan86 Mon 17 Jun 2013, 5:53 pm

And it's well known that Simon has a poor record against British players. Whistle

Actually, that got me thinking, when was the last time Murray played a Brit? Rusedski? Henman? Or has he had a first round against a Wild Card

by **laverfan** Mon 17 Jun 2013, 6:04 pm

Sock losing to Zverev. Sad

The last time he played Henman (Bangkok, can't remember the year)? I have no idea, good question.

by **laverfan** Mon 17 Jun 2013, 6:46 pm

Devvarman loses 16-18 in the third set. Shocked

by The Special Juan Tue 18 Jun 2013, 6:34 pm

Wang wins another match. Baker's taken the first set v Kunitsyn but, alas, Bogdanovic lost in 3.

Hopefully there is a player out there called Kerr for the dream match-up - Wang/Kerr . Wink

by The Special Juan Tue 18 Jun 2013, 6:48 pm

Love it!! Like when Marco Fu plays Mark King in the snooker.

Like that classic old cricket commentary:'The batsman's Holding the bowler's Willey.'

by ryan86 Tue 18 Jun 2013, 7:35 pm

Fu/King are playing today/tomorrow.

Disappointingly all Kerr's are inactive, but there is a King racked 400 or so in the world. Oh, and retired player named Numbers.

by **laverfan** Tue 18 Jun 2013, 10:40 pm

Zverev lost today. Sad

Good to see Kudla and Brown win.

Fairly sure Jordan Kerr is still playing - I believe he played in Nottingham.

by ryan86 Tue 18 Jun 2013, 11:20 pm

Ah, I see what has happened here, I think he had/s 0 ranking points, playing almost completely on the double circuit and therefore didn't show up.

by The Special Juan Wed 19 Jun 2013, 4:16 pm

The Wang man is a set and a break up. Also, Fu lost to King (and I think it was Fu - King on the scoreboard too Wink

)

by ryan86 Wed 19 Jun 2013, 4:19 pm

I think the best we can hope for is that he draws Monaco in Round 1. Then we'd have Wang - Monaco

by CaledonianCraig Wed 19 Jun 2013, 4:20 pm

Good job Michael Chang has long since retired.

Yes!! Or Wang - Del Potro but Wang - Monaco is better.

by The Special Juan Wed 19 Jun 2013, 4:42 pm

There's set 2 for Jimmy.

They did today I believe. World Snooker said so on twitter.
