Shame about Jonny's loss but we know how difficult it is to get back from injury. Give him a month more and he'll get there.


And I have nothing say about Ken becoming the top seed. jawdrop.gif Not complaining but at the same time I'll be disappointed with anything less than a final. Also, Ken has now got the chance to get an SE for next week.

Looking good for Ken and Sean in this tournament and good to see them get into the second round

Ken has to have a great shot and doing well here and he must be looking at a minimum of a semi final which hopefully can get him into the top 600, and I guess he's going to be playing next week as well where the field is just weak (although Bamford and Illingworth will be joining them in Greece)

Thornley is definately having a great year so far and looks like a top 700 player at the moment, which has to be his target for the end of the year

This draw has opened up big time for both Brits!

Sean is the best equiped on the hard courts of all the players left in his half of the draw and has the 2nd highest rank, and Skupski is the top seed anyway.

Could have our first all British final of 2008

Skupski's score was 6-7(6), 6-0, 6-2, while Thornley's was 6-4, 7-5.

And Goodall beating Bloomfield in Bath earlier this year was an all-British final!

Wow Thornley is a revolution in the last few weeks, hopefully he can push on and make the Semis or Final and make good points meaning he doesn't have to qualify for these events for too much longer.

That win is amazing from Sean, Hopefully we can have another all-brit final but that would be counting my eggs
