G4 International Flower Bulb - Holland


Tom Knights is 2nd seed here & will be looking to build on last weeks efforts.
Only guys I see troubling tom will be the top seed & also Bart Brons of Holland, he could go deep in the draw!!

True. rofl.gif Some of these ITF tournaments have ridiculous names!

Some others...

Black Gold of Udmurtia

Banana Bowl (I have always wondered whether they give the winners bananas or not. confused.gif They give oranges to the Orange Bowl winners.)

VI Sanxenxo International Junior Tournament "Xunta de Galicia" Trophy

Sanxenxho is a great event actually, but I agree dodgy name. There are so many funny named events out there - coffee bowl, banna bowl, lemon bowl, orange bowl, the list is endless. Regarding Flower Bulb Tommo Knights is in the quarter finals & plays again today!

Wayhey! Knights beat Brons by 46 63 63. Brons used to be top 150 last year but then missed a lot of tennis, so this is a good win for Knights.


He plays TVT in the finals, which won't be easy.

Just spoke to Tommo, he is feeling good. I felt Brons was the toughest for him and to be honest did not expect him to win but new he was capable. I think he can beat TVT!!! Fingers crossed guys!!!!!!!!!

Great stuff ! It looked like it was going to be a really poor week but we ended up with 3 British winners ! Not often you see Brits winning titles on clay either ! What will Tom go up to now ? Hope his parents are into gardening going by this tourney's name and likely prizes biggrin.gif

Goldenslam, what's Tom's game style ? Do you think he's got potential to be top 100 or top 50 in the juniors ?

Just checked his mens circuit record, impressive performance in Cardiff against Meffert (who's top 300) earlier this year, only losing 6-4, 7-5 on the German's best surface

Tom's game style is that of an attacking baseliner, he is a great mover & can run all day. Big forehand , good backhand (although he does not think so), great returns & for some one his size a good serve, volleys could do with being abit sharper but that will come, I think. Of all the players now, he reminds me of Hewitt the most in his style & attitude. In answer to your question I believe top 50 ITF by may next year!!!
