Coupland beat Sletting Johnsen 6-3 7-6 (9-7) played well & served big when he had to!! He has just qualied after beating Tom Rushby 7-6(7-5) 7-6(7-4)
He lost serve twice in the first set to trail 3-5 but held & broke back to force a breaker then trailed again 1-5 but turned it on to take the first set 7-6 then it was with serve for the whole of the second with Rushby wizzing through his own games to keep Coupland under pressure but he held his nerve & after trailing 0-3 in the breaker he romped to a 6 & 6 win!!!! smile

Go Coup-e hoping on a nice draw so he can gain his first points but in this form bring any1 on!!!!

Big Dave!!

Bladetiger · Pro player

For info, i think Dave is now coaching Josh Gledden at Hallamshire hence the reason for the doubles partnership.

Josh was in the singles Qualies here losing in the first round.

It began at 10am today, I think that is pretty normal for Futures. The OOP is at http://downloads.lta.org.uk/webservices/TempResults/080120Sheffield/oop.pdf - showing today's at the moment but tomorrow's should be up later.
