Chris Hay also watched the third match on the show court at the Northumberland Club, a first round tie between British 19-year old Ahmed El Menshawy and fifth seed Mathieu Rodrigues. The Frenchman won in straight sets 6-2 6-2, with his clay-court experience proving too much for El Menshawy. Watch the two players in action in the following videos:
