Wouldn't dream of it, Steven. no   The play on words, of course, works only if you're a monolingual Brit (I mean "you" in the general, indeterminate sense, as I know full well that you're not!). wink

Oli says he got smacked in the head by a de Loore forehand and is still feeling the effects.

Cue one of my worst ever Twitter puns (I'll leave you guess then cringe )

Yes, but when the bottom of the barrel needs to be scraped (as it so often does) ... come to think of it, the terrible de Loore pun relies on the Dutch pronunciation of oo, so that's the opposite problem! ashamed

Well done to Oli and his attacker ... also, despite losing his semi, Jack will rise over 100 places to around 810 on Monday week
