    Thompson V Dekker aint on the TV tomorrow night?! That was probably the best of the nights matches!

    Looking a lop sided draw in fairness, got Fitton, Harms, Green and O'Shea in the top half and only really Waites in that class in the bottom half!

    Very lop sided indeed. Although Waites will show tremendous respect to his opponents he'll be VERY disappointed if he doesn't make it to the final.

    It's a bit frustrating that they miss the 5.15pm games. What bothered me tonight was that between 5.30-6.00, both ESPN and ESPNA were showing the same broadcast - an episode of NBA tonight.

    Nothing against NBA and I know NBA fans deserve their fair share of coverage, but surely an opportunity to show a live event should trump showing a talk show/highlights show? Especially in this case - I have never known ESPN and ESPNA simulcasting anything before, so the last thing I'd expect to be simulcast is NBA highlights.

    Where are all the characters gone ?. What a shame to have Ted and Martin exit so early . Very boring now. The only character left is Tony O'Shea.

    Why have they all these new characterless blokes calling out the scores . I cannot stand the Dutch guys mispronunciation of the numbers . I have to mute the sound when he's on.

    Bit unfair on the callers. Can't all be as dynamic a personality as Paul Hinks.

    I think the callers are fine, Nick Rolls is excellent

    Who's the favourite in the quarters then? Gotta be a good chance for Tony. He has the experience of the late stages.

    I would like to see a re match between Tony and the Dazzler. That would be a cracker of a semi final. I think now Waites will take some stopping

    I'm not convinced that Waites' half of the draw is quite as easy as people are making out. I think Jennings and Dekker certainly have the quality to match him, it's whether they can produce consistent form. Both were impressive in Round 1, that's for sure.

    certainly think the draw has opened up nicely for Waites to at least run to the final.
    as someone else said the other half is quite tough with Fitton, O'Shea and Harms who all have, in my view, decent shouts of getting to the final.

    agreed Jennings played well in his first round. i just think though as the number 3 seed, it is time for Waites to deliver on the promise he so obviously has... though this might just be my wishful thinking at work.

    Any overflow would be on ESPN Classic rather than ESPNA

    I watched last night on Eurosport Germany - according to their website their broadcast started at 18:05 GMT.

    What O'Sheas match ? or the segment about Jocky/Sid.

    After the segment about Jocky and Sid they went back to Colin Murray talking to Tony O'Shea etc, then seemed to just end. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention though.
