Thornley can't stop winning these.  That's 4 now for him.

Wawrick - Quarters
Thornley (1) beat Zungunde (6) 6-0 6-0
O'Leary (3) beat Kuma-Mintah (5) by Walkover
Fulcher (8) beat Whitbread 7-5 7-6(4)
Fitzy (2) beat Burton 6-2 6-7(5) 6-2

Semis
Thornley (1) beat O'Leary (3) 6-2 6-3
Fitzy (2) beat Fulcher (8) 7-6(6) 6-7(6) 6-3

Final
Thornley (1) beat Fitzy (2) by Walkover

Shame Fitzy couldn't play the final, hopefully just fatigue after a long semi and nothing too serious.

Tipton Tier 2

QF
(1) Daniel Cox beat (6) Matthew James 6-3 3-1 ret
(4) David O'Leary beat Marshall Tutu 6-2 6-3
Hendrick Coertzen beat Theodore Voegt 6-1 6-3
Scott Whitbread beat (2) Matthew Illingworth 2-6 6-4 4-1 ret

SF
(1) Daniel Cox beat (4) David O'Leary 6-3 6-0
Scott Whitbread beat Hendrick Coertzen 7-6(3) 7-5

Final
(1) Daniel Cox beat Scott Whitbread 6-1 6-2

I've just managed to find time to write a small report from Friday when I went.

Scott Whitbread was obviously the surprise of the day, dominating Illy before he retired with what he said was shoulder/neck injuries. He then came from a break down in the first set to beat the Saffa Coertzen, whose backhand let him down dramatically. Whitbread has a good all-round game, and an excellent temperment.

They've found out Coertzen has a ranking and will give him a seeding next week.

Cox was clearly the class act of the field though, hitting his groundstrokes hard and true.

Nottingham has to be the strongest British Tour event I have seen.

Rice, Cox, Bloomfield, Willis, Brassington, Arlidge etc. They may not all play but, it;ll still be a very strong draw.

Interesting that Fitzy's still top of the Tier 1 leaderboard despite not having played the last few events - http://www.lta.org.uk/Global/Downloads/Results/2010/AEGON%20British%20Tour/Tier%201%20Leaderboard.pdf, I wonder what's happened to him recently.

If you mean a breakdown by player, just go to the link in my last post.

If you mean  breakdown by tournament, then from http://www.lta.org.uk/Resources/Competition/AEGON%20British%20Tour%20Competition%20Pack%202010.pdf it's:

Tier 1: W:1000 RU:750 SF:550 QF:400 L16:300
Tier 2: W:  750 RU:565 SF:415 QF:300 L16:225

The question is would he want one?  He retired five years ago at 24 still ranked close to the top 250.  Surely he is just playing these for fun?  Mind you the competitive fire can start to burn after a few wins.

Funny thing i spoke to Mark at notts and asked him why he had not entered the futures ,
He said he would have but he wasnt there at the weekend to sign in.
To get back playing again would need funding . Watch a little of one of his matches and he was totally different class.
