 Didn't think it was that great a shock given how well Ed's been playing.  As I said earlier just maybe a pity that they were drawn together.

As it is, it's all down to Ed to get us one qualifier, please !

Don't get me wrong, Indy.  I'm really pleased for Ed, who's obviously making great strides since his return to the circuit full time.  I was just a bit surprised, however, that he was able to take out Bloomers - not to mention disappointed that his "victim" had to be a fellow Brit (& Bloomers, to boot!  ).  I just hope he can see off Nieminen tomorrow & qualify for the main draw.  Three points for doing so seems scant reward, but I guess they'll still be welcome.
