Have you read OEM's honest (I thought) assessment of life after Wimbledon, i.e. at Futures level, for young Liam, Steven (can't post a link, as I buy the print edition, but don't have access to web stuff behind the pay wall)? It's headed "Broady sees the funny side of inglorious return", i.e. in defeat to Goody yesterday, a match in which he feels he let down Mark Hilton, his coach, because it was as though he "didn't have a clue what [he] was doing". Not often you see references to Futures competitions (OEM also attempts in the article to put the "milieu", if I can call it such, in context) reported in the "quality" press in this country.

Yes, it's in the web edition too - http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/tennis/article3108766.ece for those with a sub - and that's why one reason we like OEM, he's prepared to slum it in Chiswick once in a while ('slumming it' and 'Chiswick' don't really seem to go together, but there you go!)

I'm pretty sure the pic at the top of the web edition is Luke Saville (the Aussie who beat Liam in the Wimby boys' Final) not Liam - is that true of the print edition too?

No, primarily because the picture accompanying the print article is of Goody (& is correctly captioned)! wink

Found this one of Saville on the ITF site:

Does it confirm your suspicions?

'slumming it' and Chiswick certainly don't go together. I do hope that OEM didn't write too much about the Goodall v Broady match. At best he watched 20 minutes of it wink
