Should be dedicated to John Lloyd biggrin

I was only watching scoreboard but have never seen them tick over so quickly in Richards favour - he must be on fire, although this match did take more than an hour (1.15) wink

Great stuff Bloomers and thanks for the updates everyone, really great to see when people step up and go for a higher level, even better when they get some reward for it.

Looking at the draw, Richard will definitely not play a seed in the first round, it's either:

Seppi
Bolelli
Llodra
Zverev or
Schuettler

Preferences anyone?

Shhh · Challenger level

Whats also exciting is that all 5 Q/LL spots are against unseeded players. Really as good you could hope for. Already Richard has not only picked up the confidence of 3 good solid wins but 12 ranking points and over £4k in prize money. Really, really pleased for the guy.
