Been wating to hear what folks thought of the LTA sending Marcus home.
Quite hard to comment not knowing the full story.
For what its worth I believe that Draper has the best possible interest for British Tennis. He wants to have top ranked Brits playing evety week. I dont think he is just a 'suit'.
If it is true that Marcus 'went missing for several hours' , 'forgot his equipment' ,'missed training' and we want sent a letter just the week before then what can the LTA do...??
I cannot see Draper on a whim sending anyone home.
Very sad to see this. Hope Marcus can bounce back and prove his worth in the months to come.
Always said that this trip was pointless - hardly anyone won a match and one guy didn't even get to play. I wonder why the LTA keep on organising these pointless trips.
Only good thing is that now Coxy's ranking won't be good enough to get him into the French Open Juniors. Unless they now take him to South America (eek...).

Interview in today's Times with the latest Aussie tennis prodigy, Bernard Tomic. He proves to be no more articulate than any of our shower, but at least he reckons Wimbledon's the one to win!
What, no-one stayed up all night watching the live scores for Evo???
Disgraceful.
(He beat Spong in 3)
I actually was up watching it lol, but was watching about 3 or 4 other things at the same time, so couldn't post.
Anyone watching tonight? Deuce in first game with Dan serving.
