Would partly depend on surface but all else being equal, I'd go Bloomers under most circumstances.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

yeah bloomers would be strong fav,

marray isnt there (i guess due to injury) but on grass it would be between him and bloomers

James · Satellite level

Yes natch Bloomers..

However, what if we were to say 'who would win on clay?'

Makes it a little more interesting...

Bloomers easily indoors or on grass, Bloomers but maybe not quite so easily on outdoor hard. There would be much more chance of him being upset on clay, maybe by someone like James Ward.

If you added Jamie Baker in there, I'd expect him to win on outdoor hard or clay, but I'd still expect Bloomers (now he's found a bit of form again) to win indoors or on grass.

Bloomers all the way, although Slabba beat him at Shrewsbury last year.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

its that natch word again!

to be honest even of yoyu threw boggo in the results could be in doubt, as bloomers bt boggo on grass but boggo bt jamie b on grass a few weeks later. lets face it none of our guys are models of consistency. (and i dont count jamies last two weeks as steven said else where he is currently hitting below his weight)

no love for josh tho? i wodner why, is it cause he is out of form or his attidue? didnt he qualfy for the uso not too long ago?

Some interesting insights

Josh beat both Bloomers and Baker towards the back end of last year, in straight sets wasn't it? i think?

Slabba has beaten Bloomers and Kasiri beat Goodall the other week

Ward is the odd one out really in that he's only played Eaton and Rushby (straight sets victories on both occasions) i think he could give bloomers a tough time!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

didnt we have a event like this a while back for the wimby WC play offs. i cant remeber who won it in the past, but i think boggo may have one of the years, i think big arvs did too.

someone will probably be able to confirm.
