Come on Fitzy lah!

If you're reading this, how does Benin City compare to Pakistan??

Anyone know if there's a Nigeria City in Benin?

Alright guys, typing from the luvly benin city itself,
to reply to the comment above, pakistan was shocking while i was there given the bombs etc... as of yet i havent come into to much trouble here. The locals are so friendly, just the tribal people you have to be aware of, if i stay in at night eveything is fine.
just a hassle to do basic things like eat, drink, and shower. Like ,my room is a sauna, and i have a bucket to wash in!
won my match 2 and 2 today, guy was massive, but only had a big serve.

Well done mate. So that's you qualified for the main draw! Just keep serving well yourself.

This is a 15K + H as well isn't it? Even more points.

Are you hanging with Seator and Bains or just on your own?

Don't touch the salad. My mum always told me that when I was in Tanzania.

yea thats me into the main draw, i had a chance of being straight in, but i pulled out 3 other seeds and not me, some would say unlucky, but i didnt mind getting the match practise to be fair.
Yea kinda their in the next room to us, along with john Mcgahon.
They took away the +h around december so, just a standard 15,000$.
I have no clue who im playing, but apparently the qualifiers have good draws, so im hoping i got a good draw, given i won sheffield british tour before i came out here and with a good draw, i think i could get quite far.

U will probably be able to find out who im playing before me!

Well done Fitzy! Hopefully some success makes the trip seem worthwhile, I'm sure it will if you win a MD match and get a point anyway ...

In case you're still around, you've got Antoine Tassart (FRA) WR 1031, 23 years old. He lost 3 & 2 to Brit Dominic Inglot in Frinton last year last year but beat Ed Allinson 3 & 5 and Jim May 4-6 6-4 6-3 in Felixstowe the previous week before going out to Josh Milton 3 & 2 in the final qualifying round. (yes, I had to check I'd got those four results the right way round!)

He did ok towards the end of last year, but has only played once this year, getting stuffed 1 & 0 by an unranked Frenchman who hardly ever plays.

I'm not sure what you can work out from that except that to say he blows hot and cold would be putting it mildly! I hope he has a cold day in the extreme heat when he plays you!

Played Leonte in Pakistan didn't you Fitzy?

i also think john magan of ireland will be a force to be reckoned with. this guy takes playing with ur heart on ur sleeve to new levels. i thort bagdathis was good....but this guys something else. he has number 2 seed bogdan leonte 1st round. a tough draw but if the big bog isnt dropping his usual bomb down then the big irish bear can take him from the back. come on john boy!! give me a J....give me a O....give me a H.....give me a N.....JOHN!!!
