Shame. But now he has the option of doing Nottingham qualies in case he wants to, which is what I wanted him to do in the first place.



Boys' Finals:

Henrique Cunha [7/1810] of Brazil vs. Marcus Willis [20/1085]

So no upsets and we have the final which was most likely. Willis and Cunha have met thrice, with Cunha winning all of them. But the scorelines were close - 4-6 6-3 7-6(3), 7-6(3) 5-7 6-3 and 6-3 7-5 respectively on surfaces which favoured Cunha more. The first one was on the slow hard courts of Miami, I have no idea about what the hard court was like in Mexico for the second one and the third one was on clay. Marcus has a good shot at it if he plays like he did against Kontinen, who I think is more dangerous than Cunha on grass.

I hope that Willis will take it and that should give him a good chance of getting a qualies WC at Wimbly unless they have been decided already. Of course, it all depends on whether he and his coaches want to ask for it.




Is it played tomorrow or on Sunday? Also, is there a chance they'll show it on TV?

I am going today and tomorrow!! Junior final is tomorrow at 11.30 on court 1.

Don't forget that this is played tomorrow, from 11:30 a.m. It clashes with Boggo's match from Nottingham, which starts at 11.

I don't think that there's much between them resultswise (which of course doesn't tell the story as gamestyles determine the outcome) but in these cases it is wise to back your favourite. Willis in two tight sets!

6-5 to Cunha and 30-30 on Willis serve.
30-30 2nd serve
30-40 set point
40-40 saved
adv Cunha, Set point
deuce, Saved
Adv Willis

Adv Cunha, Set Point

Set Cunha, Willis is goin to be a little deflated after that one.

Marcus was a break down in the 2nd too, but broke Cunha as he served for the match and has now won 5 games in a row to make it 1 set all!
