Ah, sorry to hear that (how on earth do you know these things?!), that probably does at least partly explain it then.

thats really interesting, but i dint think top 150 players were allowed in futures, plus, and it only a minor thing, but i think they may be in Bosnia. not sure tho, need to check my map

And then there was one:

(1) Roberto Bautista (ESP) WR 237 defeated (Q) Burnham Arlidge WR 1078 by 4-6 7-5 6-1 cry

Decent fight by Burnham in the first two sets, but he clearly ran out of steam in the third!

A good win for Smethy. 8 points in the bag and maybe more to come.

Does Evans v Smethurst at 60 : 40 sound right? I don't know - I'd have guessed Evo would have been a bigger favourite. We'll have to wait and see... it'll be interesting.

I'd have guessed that too, but clearly we were wrong - that's a shocker of a result/scoreline!

Should've had more faith in my system. haha.

anyone going to be there tomorow?, and evo 13%, if hes almost 10 to 1 to win this tourny and he's in the quarters, what do you think his odds are going to be next week when the cavalry arrives?

Something like this... depends on the draw though obviously.
7% chance of a GB victory. ashamed

Clearly the cavalry has been to Tipton and Bath before and knows which town it prefers!

* Here's hoping for an all-Brit final!

I should've known better:

(1) Josh Goodall & Alex Slabinsky WR 489 lost to (3) Kamil Capkovic & Andrej Martin (SVK/SVK) WR 970 by 6-1 4-6 [7-10] bleh

Maniel Bains & Marcus Willis WR 1390 lost to (2) Olivier Charroin & Ludovic Walter (FRA/FRA) WR 791 by 2 & 3

The second result is more forgiveable than the first, methinks!

steven · Tennis legend

Oh dear, looks like they were more Slab-all than Goodinsky today ...

indiana · Tennis legend

Thought Smethurst might have had a chance but bit surprised by the scoreline, then again Evo seems to occasionally lose by unaccountable scores.

Now a very fair chance that Dan S could be GB's no 1 Dan in a few weeks.
