XCW4EVA practising to be the British press ... LOL

I guess he had to have an adverse reaction to all those matches sometime when he's not used to it. Didn't expect it to be today, I must admit, but then Bethan did so the hexing thing.

Of course, if 10 days ago we'd been offered an Alex Ward R1 win in Valldoreix followed by a 1 & 1 loss, we'd have thought that sounded great.

Oh dear. Business as usual today for British tennis. Well it has been too good to be true for the last week and a half.

You say that, but more points were scored by Brits in Futures in these two weeks last year than this year - the all-Brit semi-finals in Greece F2 last year having a lot to do with it.

Hang on just a sec. I can see the reasoning to blame me for the Skupski loss (though I maintain that I didn't hex him, merely vocalised - wrote down is perhaps more accurate - what everyone else was thinking. Don't try and tell me you hadn't already looked up the points possibilities) but what on earth did I do to merit the blame for this one?

I knew I couldn't catch you out that easily, but it was worth a try.

(desperately trying to cover up the fact that I mis-remembered who you'd done the points analysis for ...)
