still too early for Slabbers form

Poor scoreline Eaton. 2 and 2 is a hiding from Dan.

Good battle with Inglot, looking forward to see what he can do against Mertens.

No probs m8. Henri should have a decent chance to get a revenge against Przysiezny in the QFs. He lost a 3-setter against him in a futures final in Germany only few weeks ago. But Henri looked good in Stockholm last week, so hopefully he can keep that form up this week too. It's a pleasure to watch him when he plays well

johnnylad · Tennis legend

I hope I get the chance some day.

Although I can't officially back him against any Brits I wish him all the best against Przysiezny if they match up.

It's nice to see the juniors make a strong transition to seniors

Noooo ! Please not Cox, Goodall, Bloomfield and Evans in successive matches.

Daniel boy, sort this out in round one !

Anyway, it's rather rude to go to a foreign country and beat up all their players in their future ( unless your name is Jamie Baker )

Ahh, Mr Pole won't have that passage I was concerned about but not in a way I anticipated !! Shocked about Goodall and hope Bloomfield will recover quickly from whatever the problem was.

clayfan · Lower Club Player

Not surprised to hear of Bloomfield's withdrawal. He was not walking well in Glasgow last week between the points. I was surprised he made it through there. Big match tomorrow is probably Inglot v Mertens. Yannick did not enjoy playing the big serving Brit last week and hopefully Dom can go one better and win the match. Serve and Volleyers are a rare breed these days and many players have difficulty against them. Lets hope Inglot can be the Mayor of Tie Break city in that one.

Evans plays Barry King again in another case of deja vue. Expect lots of Irish support for King and a fair bit of needle. Dan to win again I would think. Willis has been playing well and Ignatik will be a good test. Rice also against Lustig. I don't share the antipathy to Przysiezny. He played very well in the Davis Cup and looks set for a final against Mertens unless someone can do something special. Over to Josh Milton , Evo, or perhaps Kontinen?

steven · Tennis legend

Sorry to hear about Bloomers still not being 100% cry

excellent win for Pauffley biggrin

and what on earth happened to Josh against the strangled cat?

The LTA report says that Bains was 3-4 down in the 1st set then won 9 of the last 11 games, so very well done to him.
