Any news on Mason Recci - he had a couple of good tournaments earlier this year?
After winning one of the Irish G5s at the beginning of August he has played a couple of G3s with modest success (1 QF) but had no joy in the Loughborough Futures qualifying last week
Good to see Josh's recent progress. He and Peter Ashley were being highly talked about in the past but, for whatever reasons, seem to have had a quiet couple of years.
Injuries have played a part in Pete and Josh's relative lack of progress. Josh came close to another final but couldn't pull it off. Doubles final to come
