I like Harman's "who has received a wild card into Wimbledon for some peculiar reason" (though he was going on about Josh last week), but nice words about Boggo (which he should get when he gets good back to back wins for a change) and a switch back to Raphael sounds more than plausible, not to mention long overdue. smile.gif

In a bit of a shock, Reynolds beat Mahut 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, especially as Mahut led *4-3 in the 3rd.

Opens up the 3rd quarter a bit as Mahut would have been the favourite to get through the section, so a chance for Jamie Baker to do something if he's fit enough to

Would not mind watching Court 1 tomorrow.

Starts at 12.00 with Jamie Baker, followed by Boggo v Ward and Slabba v Spadea...and then Boggo/Hutch in doubles!!

I'd love to be on that court to watch that.... a day full of British players in action.

But one problem? Why is this court 1?

I understand Baker and Slabba being on this court, but ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BOGGO VS. WARD ON CENTRE COURT!!!

Surely that match deserves to be on centre court more than Verdasco vs. Daniel... a match being a Brazillian who is clueless on a grass court and a Spaniard who rarely shows interest in playing well on it, even though he actually has the ability to do so.

Hope that Boggo/Ward vs. Cilic is on centre court on Wednesday, but I'm not holding my breath.

So who will Brad coach after Wimby? Or was Greg correct when he said Brad liked the high life of California too much and would not see out his contract to end of year.

 i thought brad and alex were due to continue up to the uso, but maybe the lta have renegotiaed again as it seems it hadnt been working for them, this last weekend aside.

no idea if alex has plans to link up with mike again. there is a guy i think could make a good coach for alex, but not sure if it would be able to work out for full time.

It confirms what we already knew to be honest, as we knew that Surbiton losing the challenger, it was likely to go to Nottingham as compensation for losing the ATP event.

Shame to see Surbiton lose the challenger, but it's perfectly understandable and probably correct after the mess of this year's event
