Very poor again from Josh G. This is a relatively weak event that he should have been capable of owning, but comes away with two points.

All the best to Josh M. Seems in no sort of form recently, but now has a chance to grab some significant points.

Josh M seemed to struggle to hang to his own service whenever he'd broken Eros's (damn' good job he managed that quite frequently - three breaks to two in the first set & the same in the second!), but he got there in the end:

QF:  (2) Josh Milton WR 382 defeated Tal Eros (ISR) WR 956 by 4 & 4  smile

*****

SF:  (5) Carlos Gómez (ESP) WR 440 vs (2) Josh Milton WR 382

Saw Goodall lost no way should he get a Wimbledon Wc unless he gets back in top 250 to be considered for such. I fear that Josh has reached his level now

I am not quite sure what Josh reaching his level means when he has clearly shown a much better and more consistent level of tennis than he has been showing recently.

I do agree, and have always thought, that there are though limits to how far he can go in the game, and he has never really delivered above future level.

No way will Josh get a Wimbledon MD WC if outside the supposedly inflexible top 250 / exceptional young player guidelines. I only remembet Dan Cox breaking it a couple of years ago and he was close to the top 250, still relatively young and I think maybe had had some injury issues though I may be wtong there.

 I do tend to agree but given everything that Josh has said about his financial position missing out on a Wimbledon wild card will presumably be a massive blow to him unless he can make it through qualies. There has been much speculation that Josh could retire this year and if things don't turn round pretty soon it is going to start looking more and more likely.

A third Futures doubles title half in the bag.  Well, they've at least put themselves in with a chance of winning it:

SF:  (2) Josh Goodall & Harry Meehan WR 1425 defeated Stepan Khotulev & Andrea Patracchini (RUS/ITA) WR 3070 by 3 & 4 smile

1 win completed then, of hopefully four over this weekend in Greece for the GB Boys.

Josh is now under way in his attempt to chalk up win #2
*1-2
