Bloomers will be the 1st Brit to play in the Newport main draw since Boggo in 2007 and, as far as I can tell, he is the 1st Brit to qualify there in the event's 35 year history!

i'm not sure it does really. Blooms is a serve and volley player isnt he? so more suited to the type of play needed here. and its not like he smoked him, he had to come from a break down in the decider after all.
good result for rich tho, bout time something worked out for him you feel.
