Shocker. I'd have whacked a lot of money on them both winning there. They've both been in pretty ordinary form for a while which worries me. About 2-3 months ago I thought they were both destined to be probable regulars on the Challenger circuit in years to come. Since Milton's title win though, they've barely won a match between them.

Josh · Challenger level

Ever since Milton's win over Greg Jones (WR306 at the time) he has won just one match against a guy outside the top 1000. The match against Jones was incredible, he totally outplayed him and anyone would have thought Josh was the guy ranked over 200 places higher.

Don't know what's gone wrong since then becasue the next day he was absolutely shocking and couldn't keep a ball in court and since then has lost to 3 guys ranked below him, taking just one tie-break set in the process. Hopefully it won't be too long before he regains his form, but maybe it would be a good idea to play the remaining GB Futures as that's where he had most success, with 58 of his 69 points coming on home soil.
