It goes to a tie-break, which he loses by 2-7. cry

I reckon Josh has had it: *0-3 in the second...

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 ?

I thought I noticed Josh a break up early on in the match and I noticed later that he lost the last 8 games. Peliwo himself has filled in the blanks:

Filip Peliwo: "Won 7-6(2) 6-0 against the 2 seed after being down 3-5 in the first. Best match I've played in a long time, full out #beastmode ! semis tmrw"

I'd probably say there are a group of players where top 300 is their limit. Josh M, Smethurst, Alex Ward and Marcus Willis being in this group. Good enough to win a couple futures but not any higher.

Josh Milton too long around the British circuit and agree no big weapons reached his level I think will never get inside top 250
