Liam has been going in the right direction for quite a while, just not getting the number of wins he would like. With a favourable draw at a futures event I think he could easily make the later stages on his current form.
Actually for some time now I must say, on the contrary, I have been quite disappointed by Liam's progress.
Yes, he's had some tough draws and seemed to play pretty well in some of these, but he's had quite a number of disappinting looking losses
Since Wimbledon qualifying last year, when like today he seemed to rise to the occasion, he has gathered all of 5 ranking points ( 1 this year so far ) and actually hasn't been as good as I would have expected in juniors either since his Wimbledon junior final.
He is clearly a very talented guy, and of course we don't want to put too much pressure on him, but I would be very surprised if he thinks the last 8 months or so have been anywhere close to what he would have been looking for.
Sorry, especially as I've just been bemoaning the GB women's lack of depth, I'm not setting out to have a downer day.
As I said earlier, hopefully today is indeed a sign of better form, which will be transferred into futures.
