from seeing Milton play one live stream the other day, it seems as though he has got a fairly good all round game, but just an appalling serve. If he could beef up that serve a bit then I think he could make a bit of a breakthrough next season.

Josh now 2-6 0-3* having only managed to hold his serve once so far. This is a pretty average performance against someone ranked outside 800. In fact this whole US $15k tour so far for Dan S, Ed C and Josh M has been very underwhelming given the surprisingly weak fields (for such good points potential).

Josh off to a slow start in his QF and gets broken in the first game.

0-1*

Yes, it's been really pretty disappointing generally, with such good points on offer.

The US fields tend to be full of under-ranked college / just out of college players though. That said, none of the players the Brits have lost to have seemed massively under-ranked even if you dig a bit deeper, so I agree that it has been a disappointing time in Texas, especially for Ed and Dan.

Well the fight back came too late.

Josh managed to get back to a tiebreak in the 2nd set but lost it 7-3

Ho hum.

Speaking of university players, this story suggests that it might be possible to watch a live stream of Mr Colautti playing: www.goprincetontigers.com/ViewArticle.dbml

Unfortunately, I took a look at the live streams and they don't seem to have anything to indicate who's playing ... or a schedule. So it would take quite a bit of ingenuity (certainly more than I have) to work out how to turn the possibility into reality.

Mr Corrie and Mr Smethurst currently up 6-0, 4-3. Mr Milton and Mr Quigley, alas, lost the first set 6-1.

I guess Ed & Dan both feel they still have something to prove this week...

Mr Corrie and Mr Smethurst win 6-0, 7-5, breaking their opponents to take the match. Messrs Milton and Quigley down 6-1, 5-0. As they're both competent players, one wonders if something is wrong.
