Lokoli is often referred to as a young Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - a fun-loving, big-hitting athletic kid who has huge ups and downs. So it's just possible that he had a purple patch day and hit the cover off the ball.
But Ed having a little nagging injury is also possible because, nine times out of ten, you'd have thought Ed would win with no problem.

Worrying news from the Doubles. Ed and Lewis were leading 6-3, 2-3 and then retired.

Lewis's name is highlighted in red on the ITF live scoreboard, so perhaps he's the one who was crocked.  cry

 From what I can tell the ITF live scoreboard always highlights the player who is on the top line, regardless of who is injured.

I do hope that Ed hasn't been carrying an injury, then played doubles and worsened it.

But who knows...

Yes, horrible thing to happen but unless it's really bad, better for a tennis player than an injury.

Good news from Ed:

"Was in and out of the hospital in a couple of hours. Drip helped a lot. Slept well last night. Chilling today, home 2morrow"

Says a lot about a player's consistency that when they lose unexpectedly, people assume (rightly) that something has gone wrong. Hope Mr Corrie recovers quickly and well.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I suspect almost all of us immediately suspected he was ill or injured, such has been his almost boring consistency and "hard to beat"-ness. Especially given the lack of form from his opponent (who was soundly thrashed of course today)

It's odd to say that you're pleased someone is ill, but I am!  Sounds like some rest and home cooking will sort him out.
