Come to the sunny north of England, it has been fine since about 10am up here!

I was at Victoria when the deluge/hailstorm came down, they had to evacuate the station but i sneaked onto the last train that left there

have to say perfect result in the Willis match - Marcus gets the solid win, but Oliver puts in a good display

Poor show from Coxy.

seagull · Hall of fame

Slabinsky is not playing!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i assume Marti bt the LL as slabba pulled out?

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Not been a great tournament for the Brits so far with only Brit vs. Brit wins.

Surprised to see Cox lose to Rice, which must be considered a disappointing effort from Dan, especially having won in Norway last time out.

And Slabba having to pull out injured again doesn't help our chances of getting a winner from this event.

HossTheBoss · Strong Club Player

Ricey playing well at the moment,some good results last couple of weeks.
