I don't think Goodall was taking this event particularly seriously so the result isn't remotely surprisingly.
It's pretty much a similar result to most of his other tournaments this year, where something clearly has stopped clicking for him......and I'd suggest he WAS taking those tournaments very seriously
L16: Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 785 beat (1) Josh Goodall WR 311 by 5 & 4 L16: (7) Tom Farquharson WR 604 beat George Coupland WR 885 by 3 & 2 L16: Jonny O'Mara WR 1533 beat (WC) Jathan Malik WR 1227 by 7-6(2) 3-6 7-5 L16: (5) Marcus Willis WR 559 beat Lorenzo Frigerio (ITA) WR 831 by 4 & 4 L16: (Q) Ryan Peniston UNR lost to (8) Marcus Daniell (NZL) WR 708 by 1 & 2 L16: (4) Daniel Cox WR 517 beat (WC) Julian Cash UNR by 7-6(2) 6-2 L16: (6) Richard Gabb WR 626 beat (Q) Jordan Kelly-Houston (NZL) UNR by 2 & 1 L16: (Q) Ben Lott UNR lost to (2) Antoine Benneteau (FRA) WR 396 by 4 & 2
QF: (7) Tom Farquharson WR 604 v Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 785 QF: (5) Marcus Willis WR 559 v Jonny O'Mara WR 1533 - H2H 1-0, 5-7 7-5 6-3, Newcastle Fut in May QF: (4) Daniel Cox WR 517 v (8) Marcus Daniell (NZL) WR 708 QF: (6) Richard Gabb WR 626 v (2) Antoine Benneteau (FRA) WR 396
Some really interesting QF's
Tom F v JWH could be very tight
Marcus should get past Jonny, but Marcus can be very inconsistent
I think Dan will have too much guile for Marcus D(and Dan has new found confidence)
Gabb v Benneteau could be very close. Gabb I believe is much improved and could push him very close or even win.
I'll stick my neck out and say all four GB semis Tom, Marcus, Dan and Richard.
R1: (ALT) Benjamin Lock & Jordan Kelly-Houston (ZIM/NZL) UNR defeated Josh Goodall & Myles Orton UNR by 5 & 2
*****
The full QF SP:
QF: (1) Marcus Daniell (NZL) & Richard Gabb WR 892 vs (ALT) Benjamin Lock & Jordan Kelly-Houston (ZIM/NZL) UNR QF: (4) Jonny O'Mara & Marcus Willis WR 2069 vs Dan Cox & Neil Pauffley UNR QF: George Coupland & Joe Salisbury UNR vs Florian Barth & David Pel (GER/NED) UNR QF: Tom Allen & Oliver Hudson WR 2916 vs (2) Liam Broady & Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 1408
Sounds like it wasn't one of JWH's better serving days, but nevertheless another good win for Tom, who has now played 10 Futures singles QFs this year and won 7 of them!

Well done to George and Joe, in particular - close match. Must be exciting for them to be getting to semi-finals, will definitely help them with their singles progression too.
