I must admit that I could not recollect anything about him until I saw his ITF profile. So is the "gh" the same as the one in Waugh? Or like the one in "laugh"?

"Kenna" (or possibly "kennaw"), if you're English, so yes, along the lines of the "gh" in "Waugh", but "Ken-yak", if you're Manx, it being a Manx surname & therefore part of the Gaelic family of languages. wink

Neil (as always?) loses the first set, 6-2

DWH · Club Coach

Neil lost the first set 2-6 so I have to assume he'll win now. :) Fingers crossed.

A break down 0-2 in 2ns set. 20-1 for the win I've stuck a tenner on him. Surely worth that?

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Goes down 2 and 2. Think that means he had basically defended his points from last year and will return to circa 440 on the rankings.
