Nope. Ollie stopped being world class at 16 or 17. The same time when Fed picked things up.

He won Petit As when he was 13, though. Fed on comparison lost in the quarters if I remember correctly.

 



 I guess that when Ollie was younger, the size factor wasn't such an issue and his superior court craft really told. Then after a few years I guess that he got overtaken by others who were bigger and stronger.

How many junior slams did Fed win ?  Was it just junior Wimbledon ?  Who were the other guys in his age group who were the top players ?

Niland holds for 6-5

Jamie's going to have to do this in the breaker to win the set

The crowd on center court has swelled to two and a half people Presumably the two coaches and the old guy who is still splitting his attention between both matches.

Still 5-6

Yeah it's amazing how rapidly Federer improved from 16 onwards, won the junior Wimbledon title when he was 18.

 Fed actually won Junior Wimbly at the age of 16. Wow!

Tie breaker time. Gonna be tough having a tie breaker with no point by point. Just gonna flash up at end and tell us if Jamie's safely through or if we have to endure another set.

Just Junior Wimbly. But he reached the finals of the USO and won the Orange Bowl.

The big guns at that time were Nalbandian, Coria, Kristian Pless and Julien Jeanpierre.

Jamie wins! Come on Jamie lad, really starting to become a bigger fan of Jamie now, looking like he's going to have a very exciting year. Could this be the year he really breaks through? He could be a dark horse for the Davis Cup still if he keeps up this consistency!

GSM Jamie wins 7-5 7-6(4).

Tough match but Jamie got there in the end.

Jamie wins the tiebreak 7-4 !!!   Great that they provided score updates !

So he progresses to the final qualies round with a 7-5, 7-6(4) win

Could have been more comfortable if he'd held on to that break midway through the second but a win's a win. Next up is probably American 7th seed Scott Lipsky who plays later today.

Jamie will need to up his game to win that
