It's not really good. If he is not able to beat Hernych I don't know who else. Maybe he should play challenger in Sarajevo with Greg.

Maybe he should enter the next GB Futures event, or he could take on Robert Dee in an official UK Useless Buggers Grudge match. My money is on Dee

Tim will consider suicide before he considers playing in a Challenger...

Come on! He lost a match. Tennis would be too dynamic for our liking if everybody quit after losing two back to back matches.

Yes, he must have played and didn't deserve a win. But what good will quitting be? Better fight till the end like he did last year.

Man alive come on....we went out for the day today and so I taped it. I just finished watching it, not sure if you guys did....but I thought up until it got to 30-30 in the last game and Tim doubled, I thought Tim would win. I know that sounds crazy, but hey.

Tim is rusty. He looks rusty, but give him a few more weeks to get the rust out and he will be back. I still see him being a top 30 player this year. Call me crazy, but the way he ended last year after some horrible draws. He needs matches, hopefully he and Andy will have a great run in the doubles.

Nana, you aren't being crazy. I am confident of seeing him in the top 25 if he doesn't waste his time playing Davis Cup.

Yes, we have to give him some time. Four months out is enough to lose your rhythm especially on Pro tour. He must play as matches as possible and hopefully his form will reach the top on grass courts at Queen's and Wimbledon. I think Davis Cup should help him. His ranking went down quickly when he had retired from representing GB. Let's go Tim

What was that Tigger was saying earlier in the week about "we can sort out Boggo's head" - judging by what happened tonight, Boggo sorted out Tim's head, and not in a good way!
