Has anyone seen Lloyd play ?

Someone I know was telling me how well he played, really impressive apparently (but this someone is not an avid tennis follower).

I gather he's a friend of Dan Evans ? And that he's in Texas doing the US college route ?

And I know that he's doing very well so far in his FQR match (6-0 3-1 at the moment).

Just wondering . . .

I have never seen him play but I gather he is a pretty good player with a big powerful game that is typical of US College tennis. His college record looks pretty good and he beat Dan Cox in Nottingham Challenger qualifying so he obviously has something. He is a friend of Evans but I think it is more a case of being a friend through tennis as opposed to a drinking buddy. Even as a 15 / 16 year old he was a notorious gym rat, I don't know whether is / was is equally hard working on the practice court

Thanks for that, RJA.

I also found a good youtube upload:

www.youtube.com/watch

Very recent, reasonable picture quality, about 7 mins long so enough to see one full service game and one full return game - not making a judgement based on it, of course, but useful just to get an idea.

In fact, tenniss621 (someone from this forum?) has lots of similar uploads which are far better than the normal ones you get (lots of ball bouncing and one shot). I watched a couple of ones with players I was quite interested to see. Thank you to him/her too if they see this post.
