I think this guy should get a WC. Don't get me wrong, Broady and Clarke deserve them (if Norrie is DE that is and the LTA refuse to give EVO a WC), then we are left with no choice but to give Gray a WC He is making in-roads on the futures circuit and is ready to step up to challenger soon, plus he is still young. A...

4 World Group II Play-Offs in 7 years, 4 away ties. Does look a competitive tie, winnable but we will no doubt need our players in pretty decent form. -- Edited by wolf on Friday 20th of April 2018 06:34:36 AM-- Edited by wolf on Monday 23rd of April 2018 04:11:19 PM
