Ten eliminated from Singles on Day 1 (six in straight sets) at £80,000 a go, although I am told the two that didn't actually get oncourt only receive a miserly £40k for their trouble.

That's good business by anyone's definition.

Best of luck to the brave lads and lasses for Day 2.

Special recognition for pluckiness must go to acknowledged World Champion Katie Boulter for her outstanding and inspiring straight sets defeat, in around an hour, by a qualifier that no-one had ever heard of. 

An truly outstanding effort, worth every penny of that £80,000 first round loss prize.

BRAVO KING ARTHUR FERY.


One man who would not settle for a dismal first round exit. He should get every penny that the underachievers trousered in Week One.

A quite magnificent, once in a generation, run to the semi finals.  Round after round defeating higher-ranked, far more experienced talents.

Staggering scenes.
