If you mean main draw matches, then yes, Peliwo has only won three matches this year, but two of them were against players in the top 300, which suggests that such a clear scoreline (similar to Jamie Baker's 3 & 2 win against him in CAN F1) is an impressive performance. Not a surprise that Ed won though, as you say.

This was Ed's 40th Futures match of the year and his 34th win (85%) - only Ed and Busta (39-1) have won more than 30 matches in Futures so far this year.

Just repeating the result (since it's a new page for those using the forum's default options) and adding R2, where Ed gets another opponent just out of juniors (junior high 21):

L32: (1) Ed Corrie WR 333 beat Filip Peliwo (CAN) WR 646 by 3 & 1

L16: (1) Ed Corrie WR 333 v Laurent Lokoli (FRA) WR 979 (= CH)

Josh next plays Alexandros Jakupovic (GRE) WR 654. Now 31, Jakupovic reached his career high 464 in 2009, a year in which he also thrashed Josh 0 & 2 in a clay court Futures event in Romania.

Another week and another poor result for James. He should have made at least quarter finals here.

Burton is having real problems in what looked like being an easy match.

He lost the first set 7-6(5) then took a *4-0 lead in the second but is now back on serve at *4-4

7 ranking points in 11 tournaments. And now presumably he can fly back to Israel with a coach at the LTA's expense, before once again flying back to Greece for week 20. Ed, Lewis and Josh I believe will all be paying for themselves, but receive top-ups against any prize money they earn (though it's probably not as generous as the travel allowance overall).

I absolutely believe in the Team Aegon funding principles for promising young singles players (doubles is another issue), and of course selections will be subjective, but surely there must be some minimum performance standard DURING the course of the season in question to allow the funding to continue [for example over the first 6 months]......otherwise resentment (or confusion) will build amongst the other players. 

I do recognise that form can and will dip for every player.....but perhaps some tough love might work better for certain players than unconditional support. A tough one to judge, I know.......

Hope he turns the corner......soonish!!
