RE: Week 28 - Futures F9 ($15K) - Frinton, GBR

helki · Futures qualifying

A small request, steven. When you update the results could you do them all, particularly as in this case only a few others needed to be added? I realise this is a board specifically for Brit results and achievements, but it would save me some time when filling in my drawsheet if I didn't have to keep floating from here to the ATP site.

Yes, that's fine, for tournaments where the majority of the matches involve GB players, it would be easy enough to add in the remaining few results.

Interesting that there's no sign of the outcome of Nick Cavaday's match against Andoní Vivanco, yet according to the OoP, that preceded the Brassington/Arlidge encounter! confuse

* Disappointing result from Marcus! bleh

ouch from marcus, expected a win there. and sean - not good.

steven · Tennis legend

Siljestrom beat no. 4 seed Sadecky by a similar score yesterday, so must be in good form, but he's a 27-year-old with a CH of 1304 who didn't play any Futures between Aug 2004 and Jan 2008 and who lost to Marc Beckles in straight sets in Felixstowe qualifying last week, so to say that this form has come from nowhere would be putting it mildly.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Siljestrom has come from nowhere and this form of his doesn't make a lot of sense, so it's a bit surprising to see Willis lose to him.

And Thornley hasn't got going this year at all as that was a match that he really should be winning and would have been a great chance at reaching the semi finals.

Good wins for Brassington and Milton though.

It'd be nice to think Ricey could end the Swede's sudden & unexpected run of form.

Best of, er, British to Josh & Kyle....
