Rob,

Both myself and Arka have databases up and running for Jamie and James Auckland. No problem sending you info each week. Just let me know what you need.

You spoke too soon, Drew - break point!

The sit down is very amusing, there is always an announcer advertising something or other, last time it was a steak house, this time a jewellers!

15-15, great serve, no return hehe!
30-15, good serve, return down the line, B right there whacks the forehand volley for a winner.
second serve. same as first point. 40-15, smash winner down the line, B took it, ran back and waited for it didn't make the mistake.
second serve: 40-30, good rally, B tries the topspin lob and goes about a cm long.
