Very cute - certainly looks as if he's enjoyed himself.

Or you could get him some even more outlandish colours to wear and do what I've done and turn up in all pink beforehand smile

Well done to him, and hope he keeps on enjoying himself and also getting the wins.

Is Seagull the next Judy Murray?

Congrats to Matthew. That is fantastic. I just wish we lived closer so he could have a hit with Marcus.

Forget the tennis whites....I think you should get him a nice Tigger shirt for when he plays against bigger kids....Marcus won his first match in a Tigger shirt against someone four years older!

i think his wife might have something to say about that! (assuming he is married)

i wasnt being serious about the whites, i dont often wear them myself.
my fav top at the moment is a black babolat one that says 'tennis runs in our blood'

i'm thinking hey yeah bloody tennis.

Is that a shirt with a pic of Tim Henman on the front, or have I got the wrong bouncy tiger?

Maybe a little, but more out of it was the only thing I could find to wear.

The pink shirt is normal for me anyway, given it's a lucky shirt (which originally was red about 5 years ago when I bought it, but has dyed in the wash), but the 3/4 length trousers were a slightly dyed pink as they got caught with a red sock in the wash and changed colour... and they were the only thing I could find before the match.

lol....no Tigger as in Pooh Bear Tigger....my son likes him. Even now, Marcus has no tennis clothes (too expensive) he will be out there in a spider man shirt or something.
