Disaster for Burton. He served for the match at *5-3 in the second, he served for the match at *5-4 in the third and he served for the match at *6-5 in the third, twice double faulting on match point.

What does anyone who has seen Josh play think about his game and his ultimate potential ?

He does seem just about the most anonymous, least talked about, reasonably top GB player. He seems to win enough matches to hang around the 300s to 400s in the rankings without seeming to really ever light any fires.

I have seen it mentioned occasionally that he could very much do with bulking up and lacks real strengths, so what are his qualities and shortfalls ?

Qualities - Fights like hell on every point and gets everything back into court.

Weaknesses - No real weapons and a very weak serve.
