I reckon it be worth some £ betting on Julian Cash if the odds are decent. Josh Milton destroyed Arevalo on grass last year and from what I hear Julian has a game very suited to the surface.

Local lad - good player. Half decent chance. I'm guessing these will all be playing Wimbledon play offs.

Who's a local lad??

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I thought paulisi meant Julian Cash. But isn't he from the south?

Anyway, he's Oklahoma now

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

Yeah that's what I thought but, like Miss Konta, Julian is from Brighton.

Could be Jonny O'Mara. He was born in Keighley.

Agreed, also reckon Jonny v Mmoh is winnable, on grass. Deep quality draw for a qualifier at this level. Imagine main draw will be v tough.

Who are the MD WC's? Jay Lloyd Marcus Brydan?

Forgot Alex Ward. I assume he'd be in the group and Marcus hasn't bothered.

It will be very interesting to see how Julian Cash does through the grass court season, he is clearly the second best British male college player after Cam and finished the season ranked 30 playing No. 1 in singles and also No. 7 nationally in doubles, he has one more year of college eligibility left but has really developed following his transfer to Oklahoma State straight into the No 1 singles slot after his first year playing No 6! at Mississippi State.

There is a big drop off in the standard of college tennis with the top 2-3 easily beating players outside the top 5 and having a chance of transitioning; hopefully Julian, who has made a big step up this year, will be close to being in that group next year.

Marcus is chasing the cash at Liverpool.

Apologies, but some reason I thought Julian was a Yorkshire lad.

Yes, it might be worth betting some cash on Cash wink

Weather in ilkley is sunny, slight breeze, a few clouds but looking set for a largely sunny dry day. I'd hoped I'd get there this week but a combo of work commitments, wife having an op mid week and family time this weekend stop that. Hope anyone who makes it has fun!
