tough day at the office today, i felt i was the better player in the first set but he was holding by playing the big points well.
I threw in one bad point in the game at 5-4 which was a double fault to hand him the set. Pretty unacceptable.
Second set got a shocker of a call at break point at 1-0 to give him 2-0 and i couldnt recover from that.

should be a good match between him and goodall as he is good from the back and has good returns.
See if i sneak in next week or not, and if not wether i get a wild card.

there is a massive difference between the court i played on today and the top 3 courts nearer the club house. Wish it was all on the front 3.

Bad luck yesterday, it must be frustrating to feel you could beat these players but you're just coming up short when decent points are at stake, but hopefully you're encouraged by how much you have improved this year - at the start of the year, you had never been ranked in the top 1000, now you are inside the top 900, up 200+ places since the start of the year and more than justifying your ranking, in the sense that you are beating the players you should be beating and pushing top 500 players close.

Hope you get in next week one way or another!
