RE: Week 26 Futures - Great Britain F8 ($10,000) - Manchester (Grass)
Permalink  

hi guys, the guy i played today has the biggest serve ive ever played against. Hes a big lad, and hasnt got much from the back, but on grass he really doesnt need to.
Had 5 break points and had him at 15-40 but every one he played too good.
Was a welcome to grass match, and a tough one at that!

Id be really shocked if he gets broken too many times even though i managed to hit winners off his serve, he plays the big points well.

onto next week and practise this week back home on the birmingham grass at edgebaston.

(**)  Heart-breakingly close for Neal! cry

Hmm, not only beating Ward, trying to nick his ranking.  Strode is actually WR 543.

 There was a time when I would have expected Josh to win a match like that on grass, sadly it is now all too expected for him to lose such matches.

Very good win for Sean, Chris's poor grass season continues.

Josh could really do with getting some good ranking points on board.

He has 28 points ( of his existing 72 after 8 come off for Monday's rankings and 2 replace 2 for Manchester ) to defend over the next 2 weeks' tournaments so runs a real risk of falling well outside the top 500.
