ok saw the last two sets of today's match. Flembo looks a lot more athletic than i remember, he's bulked up a lot. At the back of the court he was striking his groundstrokes much cleaner and harder than Bloomers, who was mainly sticking in the points long enough until he had a chance to charge the net (and doing an ok job of it).

Bloomer's backhand is much more reliable than i remember, and hitting his serve very nicely until the final set, when Flembo started to read it more.

Despite this, Colin was the superior at the back of the court. The main things letting him down were his serve, which went from good patches to being really erratic, and also his volleying wasn't as brilliant as Sheddie mentioned it was earlier in the week (Bloomers may even have been slightly superior at net today), though he did come up with some real gems. He also hit some baffling unforced errors when he was in control of the point, which seemed to bemuse him as much as me.

Overall, i think a fair result in the end

lol yeh, and next time ill remember to offer to text somebody the scores - lucky Sheddie was the only one who got them today!
