Only problem is that it clashes with a certain ladies 1st round match so that means it won't be live on Sky. Just typical.

Does any one have a handy list of Brits who have won a Grand Slam main draw match in the last 15-20 years (excluding Andy, Tim and Greg).

I've got a list but I'm not sure it's complete. There are quite a few of them, even if you only mean British men - e.g. 51 main draw singles match wins for GB men at Wimbledon alone since 1993. Is there anything in particular you are trying to find out from such a list?

Read it was Harry Skinner if anyone knows anything about him.

Nishikori has, IMHO, been far more impressive in his return-of-serve games than in his own service games.

Dan at deuce for the second consecutive Nishikori service game... BP DAN.

And Evo breaks, a big return giving him the upper hand in the rally and Nishikori hitting wide. All square at 4-4 and Dan very much on a par at the moment.

Miriambee · Futures level

takes it - 4-all

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Keep going, Dan!

Evo with some solid baseline hitting, both players look generally comfortable from the back of the court but with the tendency to throw in some strange UEs. Anyhow, Dan at 5-4, what we wouldn't give for another break here now!
