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

The second half of qualifying was completed and it was at last a return to form for Roy Daniels () as he beat Aussie tenth seed David Jones in four sets. The inconsistent East CWLander had a fine win in the second round of qualifying on Tuesday, but told his Twitter followers yesterday that the two-day break served him well as he pulled up sore. Jones, no relation to the retail chain, played right into his hands as he engaged in a winner-fest with neither player showing particularly great defence. Daniels' serve was working well and his forehand was finding its mark as he notched up a number of winners against the Aussie - ultimately securing passage into the main draw 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. There are still worrying signs with his insistence of slicing the backhand to keep it in play, but it is a step in the right direction nevertheless.

Jason Lawley also advanced in four as he came from a set down to beat Peter Seel of Germany. Seel claimed the first set 6-3, but didn't really produce much after that as he was beaten by the Westerner 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. Phoenix Wleft was not so lucky as he let a two-sets to love lead to crumble to Ireland's James O'Raherty 5-7, 0-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.
