If Marcus wins his SF will leapfrog to GB no8 . I  think bomb will match his seeding and make back to back singles finals

Sorry I meant if defeats his lower ranked Argie opponent in the QF which is likely as Burts popped him last week 6-3 6-0 & reaches semi will leapfrog to GB no8

I'm probably jumping the gun here but a repeat of last weeks final is a distinct possibility. Let's just hope that the result is different this time around.

Marcus Willis v M Castro ( QF Kuwait F3 ) 

QF final tomorrow morning bomb shd be Too strong for a play 700

Places lower in the rankings who prefers clay .

Burts has much tougher 1/4 final facing no1 seed Wang of France will be tough  but is in another  SF in the doubles and good chance of winning another doubles title

I think we would look it as another 10 points for final

& if lift the title that's great . 

Lifting title would have bomb up to

117 points neck & neck with ed Corrie

Your not jumping the Gun he can't drink

Beer out there !

He is probably getting very fit !

and his morale his sky high !

so you would expect him

To match his no2 seeding and reach  the final  .

Expect bomb to return with 2 futures titles from Kuwait but might both be doubles - we won't be complaining it's been a great series for the "dynamic Duo " but another singles title would be job done 2013 with another 7 tournaments to go !

Voted yes. With the indoor season coming up, there's a good chance that Marcus can win a 10K.


What gift are you getting for him?

Hi lad - never really known much about Marcus before but have to admit I'm much more clued up now you're a regular poster. Got to say I'm hugely impressed with his ability, do you think he's got a shot at top 10? I don't see much outstanding talent coming through from other countries to really scare Marcus. Would certainly be good if he was in the main draw by right when Wimbledon is upon us.

They always quote that stat about if you haven't won a Slam by 25 then history is against you ever doing it, so time is of the essence (although I appreciate players are getting older these days).

I am going to max sure everything is done to max Marcus full potential 

Can he win a grand slam yes in doubles - I believe he is GB's most talented doubles player but it's for next 3 years it's  all about going as far as we can in the singles if we can get into the top 200 singles then top 100 is possible But will take min 2-3 years Because we are rebuilding . 

But got the foundations inIan's have a nice plot

doing a bigger demolition job than the para's in 82 . Demolition job on the Argie matias Castro as I predicted has happened just now 6-1 6-0 

Another step Closer to realising a dream
