Sad to see that Niall and Neil couldn't progress, but this shows they can go the distance with some of the top clay courters from the region. Hopefully one of the lads can break through in next week's Grade A.
No He hasn't been injured. If Neil played more hard and Indoor tournaments, he would be top 50 no doubt as he is much better on quick stuff! Seems like he's getting used to the dirt now though! Pauffers for Gerdau! Mikey Thomson I can see doing well too.
Thanks for your contributions, Marcus; it's good to see a British Junior offering positive support to his compatriots - more power to your elbow, and good luck with your career.
Absolutely right DJ. I echo your comments, I can assure you Marcus you're guaranteed of the full support of everyone here unlike some of your muppet colleagues who have posted.
