Wow, where has this form come from?!

L16: (Q) Robert Carter WR 1927 beat (3) Patrik Rosenholm (SWE) WR 375 by 4 & 2

He's been building towards a result like this.

In Glasgow he beat Sean Thornley in qualifying before losing to Lewis Burton

In Preston he beat Richard Gabb and lost to one of the Griekspoor's in the FQR.

He had a wc in Sheffield and lost to Crepaldi in 3 sets. I think I had a few Groats on him to win that one.

This week he beat Ashley Hewitt amongst others in qualifying.

 At this levels anythings possible. ( See Willis and Hewitt previously for similar successes)

Ah, now I know who you mean (I assume the "Burner" is an attempt to prevent spam?)

It much have been SMC who used it first (*) but it seems I mentioned it in a later post, hence the confusion probably:

SMC's going to hate me for this, but still amused by his rundown of yesterday's action, I tweeted the result as:

"Bath 15K: (Q) Robert Carter (described on the forum as 'a cross between Aled Jones & Justin B*%$#*', poor bloke!) KOd by Reinwein GER WR 629" (the blanks more to avoid unleashing a spam flood than anything else)

... and then saw:

@jessren94: "@GBtennis rob carter says thanks and what's wrong with justin b...?!"
