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)

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.

Yes very interesting, if I'm not mistaken that's the Namibia F1 2007 champion vs the Senegal F1 2007 champion!  Blimey!

Wow, may battle commence   smile

Though I do prefer it when most of a draw includes Brits to just see the whole draw rather then folk have sometimes left out the non-Brit matches.

Tutu on the piano ... http://youtu.be/6_T_ZQ6LtZw?a

He's the spitting image of Gael Monfils - from the back, anyway!

Towards the end of the tune I though it sounded like 'Bad Romance', but what are the chances of Tutu playing Gaga?

I hope Tutu does well. It is nice to see a young sportsperson doing something creative with their spare time as opposed to looking for hookers. (Not mentioning a certain balding Scouser who looks uncannily like a potato on legs.)

Yes, Tutu seems a nice guy, more in common with an archbishop than a dictator.

I think he should be called Archie after Archbishop Tutu   smile

I am predicting that Tutu's cult following will match that of James Ward c. 2007.

You're getting about  smile

Updates are nice, but at least we've been getting final scores quick enough via the BBC or wherever.  More importantly, you just enjoy your day.  Err, guess you're already there  doh.gif

Josh is in rapid tweet mode. Slabba won the first set, but Josh has levelled things up by taking the second.

Coco beat Grassi 3 & 3, so Cox v Willis has started and Cox leads 1-0
