I did think about you when I saw the interview wink

Spectator · All-time great

So often the most important things are unsaid ...

Good to have you back on the board!

The heat must be a real test but, as I said, I don't think Lewis' loss is quite as bad as it looks on paper.

The guys coming out of college have no ranking but they've done 4 years intensive tennis training and match-play and, though they're not all world level obviously, they're all under-ranked and the top ones, who then want to pursue it, are going to rise very quickly (up to a certain level) if they want to.
(Ed Corrie's interview on the LTA site is quite interesting).

Sadio is a very talented guy, intensive tennis since he was very young, national scholarships, now national champion (of the division that goes up to about WR500-600).

Good luck to both in their doubles. And well done Marcus. Going to be interesting to see how many points he can amass, if he carries on like this, keeping it short.

When Lewis lost to unranked Doumbia a couple of years back he got a bit of stick.

But Sadio has now made the final of the Challenger in Pune.

One who chose the college route, and will now be top 300, and rising.

Good luck to him.
