ONE letter out (cf. Tutu/Tito)...?!! disbelief

P.S.  I doubt very much that the Croats would thank you for describing Tito as one of them, JL.  He was first & foremost a YUGOSLAV, a citizen/defender of a country, effectively an artificial country, which in any case no longer exists...!

Whatever love. It's still a darn sight closer than your offering and I don't care if he is flaming Brazilian - someone pointed out the fact that his name is similar to someone I asked about and you've decided to use it as another opportunity to show everyone you know everything. Just leave it! mad.gif

But the tennis player anyone?
Can't find much, but apparently he won the Essex U18 and U21 Championships last week without dropping a set. (he turned 18 in March)

http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/tennis/8368553.Tutu_triumphs_at_Thorpe_Bay/

He is 5-1 in Futures (including Q) now, having won QR1 then lost a 3-setter to Ben Pritchard in Chiswick.

He only player one junior ITF event, the Scottish Junior International last year, where he won two matches before going out to Jonathan Brooklyn (now ATP 1429) in the FQR.

Oh, for Pete's sake!  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Why don't you go & take a running jump, you patronising so & so?!!!

I saw Tutu play in the Nottingham British Tour event going on at the same time as the Challenger a couple of months ago. Afraid I can't actually remember anything about his game or who he played due to the lack of names on the scoreboard cry.gif The only reason I know I saw him is due to his slightly unusual name that stood out on the OOP.

Good to see Dan E back and winning, I'm guessing he is back from his self imposed lay off.

I have been cheering for Tutu from the moment his name appeared on the qualies draw, and hope he wins the tournament. The top 100 needs him and Jack Sock.

Seems to be one of those who has found the switch to senior tennis a smoothe one. Good tournament choice maybe but there are some Brits who took more than 12 months to get a ranking

Be interesting to see how Tutu performs longer term.

Once a player gets through qualifying, getting that first ranking point, and hence a ranking, does of course much depend on who you get in R1 and indeed what form that player is in on the day.

In this case, he has beaten Fitzy, which on the face of it seems a good achievement.

According to the LTA report of Day One of the Main Draw -

"Tutu is the only qualifier to have won through round one of the main draw and has been attempting to relax himself pre and post matches by playing the piano located in the tournament office."

Probably just bit much for Dr No after his Mexico efforts over 2 weeks, flying back to UK and then having that long R1 match.

I see he's down to play next week in Italy, so may have been worth just taking this week off,  then again when you're on a sort of roll......
