stop raining on parades Steven! (we've had enough rain)
unfortunalty i think the move to hard really limits the chances of any of the brits progressing. Boggos especially have surely taken a big knock! you wait all year to get on grass and bam back on hard courts.
however i think the qualies have poroveded some encourage ment with bambam and eaton both havign good perfroamces, also good to hear jonny is getting back on track. hopefully he can get a kinder draw at queens qualies. and that should sttay oin grass, i am sure they have decent covers!
good point from golden slam about the stewards, somthing i had forgotten.
Oops, yes, unfortunate choice of words! I agree with everything else, and yes, goldenslam was right that they probably need to be careful about not getting on the wrong side of H&S as far as letting spectators in is concerned.
