Dan Ward? Who he?

Smidster · Challenger level

Even James lol

Drew · Oct 20, 2008

Simple typo.....Smidster meant James Ward of course.

I must admit I never thought for a second that Jamie Baker would surface here...very good for him.

OOP is out for Tuesday and mad I cant get there...lots of good matches !!!

Saw Evo beat Coxy in Edinburgh....Same again I feel. Fleming got a tough draw but lets see what he can do. At least we will get 3 into R2.

I assume Dan Evans in back in the fold, since he got a wild card. Pity he had to draw Dan Cox.

That was the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw him with the WC.
I think Evo has the measure of Coxy...their first up at 10am crt 7.

A bit crazy that after denying Evo WCs for a few months, the LTA give him one for a tournament he would have got a DA for had he entered, but it's a nice surprise to see Dan and, even more so, Jamie B playing here

I wonder if Jamie hadn't intended to play here (was maybe thinking of starting with Challenger Q in a week or two) but was convinced to accept a last minute WC.

They've actually assembled quite a good field here with a stronger GB contingent than it looked like we were going to get. I agree that there are some intriging matches in prospect, though not sure the draw has worked out that well from the point of view of maximising points scored.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

be interesting ti see how JB does this week. would be ncie to see him get some wiuns again. some of hsi lsoes over the summer were to tough players.

Akhenaten · Pro player

Neil Pauffley is in as a LL. Playing Coll-Riudavets(4) [412] in Round 1.

Simmy26 · Lower Club Player

Colin won 6-1 6-3, my friend was there and said he was excellent, served very well and his slice backhand was working well. Jamie was also a set up.
