Gawd, they couldn't not give him a Queens qualifying WC, could they ?

Thinks........

They could, they could   !


Anyway, that's a great level Alex has shown this week and promises so much for the future.

Surely alex would be too tired to play queens qualies would means that he would have played 6 or 7 days in a row if he wins a round or two in qualies. Also most of his matches have gone to 3 sets. I would suggest its unlikely we'll see A Ward at queens

I don't know, I get the impression he's quite a durable lad.

If he can't take a qualifying WC up for Queens, then surely he must get at least that for Eastbourne.

he must be tired of cousre, but if he will get a WC how many chances like thia will he get, he's obivusly got his eye in on grass, could well be up against people playign theior 1st grass match of the year. and even if he loses 1st rd will still be a good experience for him. He really doesnt have anything to lose?

Let me get my phone... I probably still have the info under "Sent Messages". They're probably all stored up in Shedman's mobile. Just a sec...

They've been getting twittered for the last couple of hours, I assumed one of the doubles specialists had been putting them on a thread too! ashamed

The Final is Flemski v Eatglot or Butosky (corrected)

Got it. Action from earlier today. Keep in mind I'm a slow texter so I couldn't text every point from the match, so I just chipped in here and there when I could.


Keothavong umpiring. Louis Cayer courtside, and Bozoljac back too. Maybe he wants to continue his argument about how many double faults he served yesterday?

Dimitrov serving first. Serving v strong today. Love service game.

Inglot serving. A tough service game, but Inglot and Eaton pull through.

Marray serving. Excellent volleying at the net from Eaton, but Marray holds from deuce.

Eaton now. Love hold. 2-2. Eaton sporting a retro headband today; hair looks like he's been pulled backwards through a hedge.

Good teamwork from Dimitrov and Marray - Dimitrov slamming down the serve and Marray popping up at the net to catch the return and close out the point. 3-2.

Dimitrov Marray lead 5-4.

Tiebreak! Colin Fleming has now joined the crowd of players that have arrived courtside for this one.

Dimitrov Marray won the tiebreak 10-8. Eaton is hacked off and says that Jonny Marray's winner was in fact long. Keothavong tells him that he saw the chalk fly up from where Marray hit the line. Eaton arguing that it was a puff of dust from where the grass has been worn away behind the baseline.

Eaton Inglot race ahead in the second set to 4-1.

Second set to Eaton Inglot, 6-3.

Champion's tiebreak. Eaton and Inglot take victory by 10-5.

Final score: 6-7 [8-10], 6-3 10-5.

Crowd of Lithuanians just shown up courtside. I'm taking a wild stab in the dark and saying that they're expecting Berankis.

Berankis it is, with his Latvian partner Andis Juska, and Goodall and Delgado have appeared for the Brits. Anyone else think Delgado bears a resemblence to James Blake?

Tempting to ask Goodall about Vandenburg, but probably bad idea. The Brits break early. Juska reminds of someone... a former player... a top former player... maybe Ivanesevic? Possibly. Must be the beard.
