Guccione is a very strange player,hes like the roddick or karlovic of the challanger circuit,tho hes always got a ranking of like 80-90 contantly,he always does well in some aussie atp tounry early in season.

'Tis okay, steven, I hadn't even noticed. However, I shan't be voting in your latest options: a little too puerile for me.

I can't deny you have a point ashamed

LOL though it looks like more than a dozen people might disagree. Just trying to lighten the atmosphere a bit really, there's a bit too much sniping going on at the moment, and I don't think it's all been in fun.

story of joshes season
if all those semi final positions could have been converted he could be much higher now.

well zib certainly seems to be on form this week.

was a good chance for josh to go deep its true, but if he can regularly make QF's then hi will soon be established top 200 i think.

I must admit to being slightly confused by the poll, particularly rhe option :

"Masta K needs a hug after WE were sio rude to HIM"

Who is this WE ? smile

Err....some of US here were certainly not rude to HIM,. so I think WE is a rather undefined subsection, though it's kool if some are reconsidering certain events smile

Anyway I do think he needs a hug so I still voted for that.

Ah, I do hope that I am not ever treated as a HIM if I ever go on a foreign forum and don't fit in with the WE.

I thought we'd moved on, which was probably the best thing......

Yes, a pity about another narrow loss. But I do see Josh becoming established in the top 200 next year.

They have indeed.

Their next opponents will be Guccione & Torres (AUS/BRA). Four in a row and this one a Challenger title?

Not before 3.30pm.

The answers were a tongue in cheek attempt to reflect the different things people had said on here, that's all.

Anyway, sads that Josh lost, even sadder that the LTA seems to have decided to up the number of Challengers at what is still our least successful venue as far as home Challengers go.

indiana · Tennis legend

Well, given the distance for the home players, it probably hardly feels that much of a home event.

It's blooming much closerr to France !
