Illingworth beat Slabba 6-3, 7-6

Spoke to Slabba afterwards, he said he should have won as he had so many chances. He had 10 bps in the first set and 2 set points in the second set...just lost all the big points. Credit to Illingworth as both played the big pts well but Slabba said he just ended up getting somehow outplayed on all of them.

He says that the last two weeks have been good, got a ranking pt (portugal) and some prize money, getting some confidence back.

However, Illingworth now gets a wc this week. Slabba's in qualies.

This Boris Opama represents Surrey according to BBC Sport results page.

I've never heard of French players basing themselves in Britain!

I know he's French, but he might live in Surrey, no?

Baghdadi is British, he goes to oxford uni and lives in Middlesex. His parents are French though and he plays under the french flag.
