The Championships, Wimbledon II - Gentlemen's Singles Qualifying
Grand Slam - Thursday (Qualifying Round) - Paris, France - Clay (Red)

After a rest day yesterday, only half of the qualifying matches were completed ahead of tomorrow's main draw with a number of CWLanders in action. First on court was sixth seed Ishan Narang who was again forced to do it tough as he edged out Benoît Rio in five. Despite taking the first set 6-1, Narang looked in trouble as the Frenchman claimed the next two and had break points early in the fourth. The erratic Indian-born player recovered, though, and took Rio through his paces by taking the fourth set 6-3. Both players desperately wanted an early break in the fifth, and it went to Narang who quickly set up a 4-0 lead. Rio held twice, but could not avoid a loss as Narang moved into the Wimbledon main draw 6-1, 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Also through was an impressive Pierre Rose who outgunned eleventh seed Lee Inmin of Korea. The pair traded sets before Rose got on top of Lee who had looked pretty impressive right the way throughout the week. Having dropped his first set of qualifying in the match, Rose was keen to avoid losing a second as he comfortably outplayed his higher ranked opponent to advance to his second Grand Slam main draw in a row 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-0, 6-3.
