Just the 5 breaks of serve to Ed.

No fuss. No drama. Another straight sets victory.

Surely he's playing at top 200 level currently......this bodes very well for the grass court season, with a few strategic WCs and helpful draws.

Well done, Ed!

4 GB men into semi finals this week - Ed, Tom, Dan & Ashley plus at least 2 GB girls, Lisa(in final) and at least 1 in Bournemouth suggests a very succesful week all round.

To a degree, but only to a degree. Obviously the above four have done well but Baker, Pauffley, Willis, Burton, Marsalek, Ward, Fitzpatrick and Carpenter have all lost to players ranked lower than themselves. I think the success level of the week is still in the balance.

 That's quite terrible ... but also quite apt.

You're right.  It is quite terrible, but it is Friday afternoon and my brain doesn't function too well at the end of the week

At any other time, I would have come up with Eduardo Corrieno Busta - which would have been even worse.

If Ed wins his semi-final, then on 6 May he will overtake Evo to become GB no. 6 and the highest-ranked Brit younger than Andy.

First set may be beyond Ed, but unless his opponent is having "one of those days", I'd certainly back the "New Ed" to gradually work his way back into the match, make it competitive and then find a solution to win.....

Just lost first set 2-6. Nothing on opponent's serve at all.......

The only match all year where you'd say Ed was beaten easily was against Freddie Nielsen, otherwise all of his losses have been tight 3 setters, so this first set is a little worrying. Ed's first service game looks like a real must to hold.

I know Ed Corrie has done really well climbing the rankings but I wonder if he is this years Josh Goodall dominating Futures Events In Uk?
Anyone got an opinion on this?
Is he better than Goodall ?

At the risk of upsetting a few people this is exactly my view. Ed is a very solid player with a good attitude and he has had a great start to the season but I honestly don't see anything in his game that makes me think he will ever be anything other than a good futures level player. I will be delighted if he proves me wrong.
