That's very true Sean Thornleys success in doubles has definitely been an inspiration & lets see if i am still all smiles after a SF clash in the doubles between the 1st & 3rd seeds .

It could turn out to be a very strange bottom half of the draw with 2 seeds already out (Tom and Neil) and the other 2 seeds (Marcus and Dave) are both a set down.

Having said that, there is still time for some comebacks.

Pity Sean isn't playing singles reckon he could have got a couple of points here now.

Anyone know what's happened to Jack Carpenter he seems to have disappeared as has Slabba.

I'd been wondering about Jack too - any news anyone ???

Also, where's RJA ? not around ?

Saying now that marcus has lost. 8-6 in tie break what is going on when it showed 1 set all 84 to 83 points to marcus. Think it wasn't hot enough for marcus.

scores were showing him 6-2 up. were steven when you need him.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am starting to hope that Lewis and Marcus get stuffed in the doubles and I don't even care about doubles!!

Initially the scoreboard had Marcus winning the tiebreak 7-2 but now it has changed.

Very strange...

But yes as CD says very good win for Myles. Congrats to him. smile

That made me laugh for a moment but I hope people won't start disliking Lewis and Marcus just because of A1 saying stuff like that. I'm far more inclined to believe Polly (she's known Marcus for a lot longer, after all!) and anyway, whatever was actually said/ laughed about in the car, everyone has to let off steam from time to time and banter about other players probably figures in that a lot. The difference is, it usually stays private because they don't have A1 in the car to report it all on here! wink

As for us, I bet all of the players who ever look at this forum (even the ones who might appreciate some of the stuff we do) have a good laugh at us sometimes - we (like all forums, probably) are very easy to caricature (just see those threads Akhenaten did a couple of years back) and I don't have any problem with that if it's done in a good-natured way.

As you might be able to tell, I'm a bit less grumpy this morning smile I'd only had 2 hours' sleep the night before last and that went quite a long way to making you-know-who seem even more annoying than usual ...

Like to make it clear that Marcus loves everybody . It was gary Lewis that thought the suggestion of swapping partners was hilarious but that's no reflection on the ability of the Sean Thornley & David Rice partnership they did extremely well to justify a Wimbledon WC .

Don't you dare!

Ash a set up. Young Isaac struggling to make an impact so far (a set and a break down). Neil doing his usual habit of making life difficult for himself by starting to play from set down. All level between Malik & Strachan.
