Hi Jon - I am indeed! All the way down from Scotland. Last year I had 3 days at the French in week 1. I think my next aim will be Madrid Masters plus 1 in UK. No further plans other than watching at home after this - this is my "big" holiday as it were. 

Its not so much the cost of tournament tickets as everything else (hotel/travel) which makes it expensive. Gutted to miss Andy and Kyle but all in all, very pleased with the players I should see.

 v jealous. My wife cant really stand sport, tennis included, so i can occasionally drag her to an event like O2, but that is about it. With kids, my leave gets snaffled immediately for less frivolous things, or lets say for things that arent "me" things such as tennis.Which is strange really as my wife and daughter have a girls week in Mallorca in late July without me whilst I stay working and looking after the dog...I need to have a word!

I am watching Kyle practice. I was briefly stood next to his dad before he moved away.

 Hardly a lesson. Cameron cannot put a single ball in the court. Stan hasnt left first gear yet.

 Lol. Only because of injury...

Cam was rushing points too much, being erratic. Lots of out calls on his serves. He was very gentlemanly can channelled a wrong call of Stan's which someone had called out and it was in fact in. 

It will in fact be a lesson even if Stan didn't leave neutral.

Grass is going to be a very difficult beast for Norrie. His serve isn't big enough and when he does go bigger he loses a ton of first serve %. And then his game just isn't wonderfully built for grass. Long looping forehand that needs time to set-up and a backhand with little margin of error. And then of course his biggest weakness is his return of serve which is greatly exaggerated on grass.

He needs to make his money/points on clay and hard courts.

At least grass is a short season. At a minimum needs to play one warm up + Wimbledon. Be worse if he wasn't great on clay or hard.

Well, Jay's match isn't very fun watching. Hurrah for being on the board.
