Count Zero · Tennis legend

Yes!!!

steven · Tennis legend

No, that's no good - once he's got no more Brits to play, we need Robert to keep on winning so he gets ranked high enough to stop entering all the UK Futures! LOL

That result adds to the impression that Bloomers is the in-form Brit at the moment though, he must wish the indoor season would never end!

lol, i didn't think of it like that.
well the uk futures take a break soon. still he's got bath and jersey to go (assuming he entered both?)

steven · Tennis legend

I'll give you one guess ...

Pim-Pim Johansson is going to be in Jersey as well, not to mention Brit-basher extraordinaire Frederik Nielsen, Todd Widom (who is through to R2 at Indian Wells) and Mannarino (who beat Bloomers 4 & 2 in Cherbourg), though there are plenty of players in the draw against whom players like Boggo and Bloomers have a more even record.

My reports from Friday are available on http://www.tennisalternative.com/news.php

Any thoughts on the 'mystery man'?

steven · Tennis legend

Another good report - probably the best of the three actually.

"He is definitely not a coach and his slightly grubby attire doesnt suggest he is an LTA official."

"Slightly grubby attire" made me think Peter Lundgren (only because Bladetiger once mistook him for a tramp who'd wandered into a Challenger off the street) but you say he's definitely not a coach ...

wolf · Tennis legend

If he was a coach he would have been wearing a tracksuit with the LTA badge on it. Didn't Lundgren get sacked anyway?

steven · Tennis legend

I think he got suspended, taken back and then left for family reasons, but I may have missed part of the saga.

steven · Tennis legend

It wasn't this guy, was it? http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/road_test/james_jordan.do (pic of the man himself top right)

He seems to take most of the pics of the lower-ranked Brits for the LTA website.

How pathetic you all are, this young lad named Wolf openly criticises other players and comments about how poor they are and you accept it yet as soon as I remark upon his inabilities you threaten to remove the post!

Just think what your saying here, you cant be that sad, surely not.

Shush, stop being so disruptive. There's an element of etiquette involved here too; people are getting intolerant of you because you're overly confrontational. Give up on this one, you aren't going to win people over and making continuous posts declaring your grief about it reveals an ineptitude in your character. It is clear that the "old timers" here value Wolf and his comments and that isn't going to change whether you continue to make remarks about him or not.

Well there was not a whole lot of point doing reports if I just said how great every single player was. You are obviously close or involved in some way to the players you mentioned, so if you have a differing opinion why don't you share it instead of just slagging me off. As I said I didn't see a lot of Golding so I can't comment an awful lot on him. Poulett, as I said didn't seem to have an awful lot in his game, but he is young and as he develops I am sure he can branch out and go for his shots a little more. He has a sold base and can work on that. Morgan..he was the opposite he has a very big game but needs some control I just expected a little more. He is more than cabable than getting his ranking towards the top 300 but whether he will get, as you would hope from an Orange Bowl champion, to the top 100 I'm not so sure.

@Steven no it's not him give it up!

steven · Tennis legend

LOL don't worry, he was the only other possibility who came to mind.

The Knight · Challenger qualifying

I was just on MTF, and someone from France called Nathiila had a link to Wolfie's final report from Tipton in their signature?!?! Looks like the Wolf's getting a bit of a fanclub going...
