Disappointing loss for James as it was a match that he could have won given that Ginepri didn't look that impressive, and he had a break's lead in the second set which he should have held on to.

Not sure whether he's done enough for a Wimbledon WC either given his ranking of around 350, but his performance was better than Baker's and he showed that if he did draw a very weak opponent, he could get a win.

Yes, you're probably right FD unless the Turkish No 2 displays an unexpected aptitude for grass.

Still, grass struck me as the convenience choice rather than the safest, least problematic ( as far as the DC tie goes ) choice.

The Turkish number two has never played on grass and hasn't won a match this year.

The Turkish number three has never played on grass and his two wins this year were against unranked players.

The Turkish number four has never played on grass and has only beaten one ranked player this year.

None of them have played a tournament outside of Turkey since 2008.

None of this suggests that any of them have some kind of hidden grass court talent that we don't know about, or are dramatically underranked, or should pose a problem for pretty much all of the GB top 25. 

 So, we haven't seen them on grass at all   wink.gif

Hmm, who's he putting the knife into with the later comments do we think?

Greg doing a big defence of Leon, gives the lie to any theories that he's highly narked at missing out on the DC captaincy.

JL sticking up for people who live outside the UK being involved in GB Tennis ... wonder why wink.gif

Someone ( I think Phil ) said they saw Greg before talking pleasantly at length with Leon.

Greg may well be disappointed at not getting the Davis Cup job but I don't think he's the type of guy to hold it against the man who did get it.

Well, unless he though the guy that got it was a totally bum choice  wink.gif  which he clearly doesn't.

Dimitrov holds 1st game with 3 aces and an unreturnable serve.

2-1, Boggo breaks smile.gif

Pretty poor from Dimitrov, lots of errors and Boggo just playing solid.

Dimitrov must be an über-muppet if he can serve like this and have only just made the top 300 today. Grrrrrrrrrrr
