And unfortunately Benneteau broke again to win 7-5 in the 3rd.

More than decent effort again though from Joe

Can't remember whether this was posted last week - more about Joe from @FootSoldiersofT, who interviewed him last week: http://bit.ly/1861Jur

Charming at some times and abusive at others is not a good combination in anyone. If that is in fact the case with Mr Klein, one can only hope that someone points out, in a way that he can hear, that abuse, taunting of others etc isn't acceptable.

Good for Mr Cash - nice to see him following on so well from Junior Wimbledon. BiS, however, is definitely in the dog house. Or at least outside wearing a coat, walking the dog. That was bad.

Liam doesn't like playing Tom, but Tom maybe a little tired.

Why? Is it because they are friends/former doubles partners; or just playing styles?

Anyway Liam broken in game 1. First DF on the board......a big issue in recent matches, so worth keeping an eye on the DF count.

A. Benneteau, given recent form, is a harder draw than Olivetti, IMHO.

So Joe's doing great, albeit 2-4 down in the second. Hang in there, Joe!

Has something happened to the Liam/Tom match ? My itf scoreboard hasn't moved in half an hour.

Having seen Jonny at junior Wimbledon and taking into account Neil's recent form, that's not exactly a surprising result, despite the 1086-place gap in the rankings. Still a very good scalp for the young Scot though!
