AEGON Championships II - Singles
PTA World Tour 250 - Tuesday (1st Round/2nd Round) - Queen's Club, London,

United Kingdom - Grass

Another rain-affected day limited the number of second round matches that could be completed, but a full-house of first round contests were done and dusted with ninth seed Heath Davis leading the charge. The French Open doubles finalist was drawn against Romanian Bogdan Maurer and had no troubles with his 89th ranked opponent in a convincing win. Maurer, who won a match at Wimbledon last season, had trouble with Davis' power and the wind at Queen's Club and unloaded with a volley of unforced errors. Davis also had some difficulties with the wind that impacted his high ball toss, but he saved four break points during the match to advance 6-2, 6-2. He will meet top fifty ranked Ion Andueza who had troubles of his own in a 6-0, 4-6, 6-4 win over local wildcard Oliver Wright.

Wildcard entrant Marcuss Deane had a magnificent start to his week with a comfortable win over World No. 64 Ivan Cesljar. Deane, whose efforts in Paris saw him rise to a career high World No. 109, showed why he is one of the hottest prospects on the tour as he cruised past the Croat 6-3, 6-4. Cesljar looked strong on serve except for two service breaks going the way of Deane. Deane, meanwhile, continues to grow in stature and saved the only break point Cesljar brought up on his serve as he advanced easily. He does face the tough task of fifteenth seed Bjorn Donaldson next after the Swede survived a tense match with local Oscar Highsmith to win 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-0.

In the same section, Scotland Rivers survived a late fightback from Austria's Martin Reiter to also advance in straights. Rivers led 6-3, 5-2 before Reiter worked his way back into the set through some great defensive tennis to draw errors from the World No. 46. But, as another highly talented member of the West CWLand contingent, Rivers survived that scare to produce a fantastic tiebreak performance as he came to the net regularly and to great effect. Reiter struggled with the attacking style of Rivers, and it was the West CWLander who secured a second round meeting with third seed Jefferson Drake 6-3, 7-6(1).

In other results, Spas Delev will meet Tiago Matías tomorrow after the Portuguese player advanced 7-6(3), 7-6(1), and third seed Jojo Mustard will play qualifier Tu Haifeng who won his first round clash 6-1, 7-5. In second round action, Wimbledon semi finalist Zoltán Varga crashed out in straight sets to Attaphol Sae-ul; eighth seed Morgan Carter was embarrassed by Brazilian Roberto Santos in three sets; and second seed and defending champion Darcy Cowan advanced unconvincingly against Aksu Emrem 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5).

Seeded players out: Morgan Carter; Zoltán Varga.
