With 7 out of 8 GB players through, i'd like to see one of the other GB players break the dominance of Dan S, Ed and Dave.

Bambo should make the semis, Coups is playing well enough to give Dave a huge fright.

I'd like to see Ed Dan S and Dave R continue they all have points to defend so winning this month would set them up for an attack at the top 250 in spring when they don't have many points to defend. I predicted Luke would make the breakthrough this year think he will go further than Oli and Liam long term.

Well, Mr Hutchins had said he wanted more court time, no? Great SFs. And great wins in the singles, too. A good week.

He definitely used up his 'get out of jail free' card in that set . . . time to up the ante and finish it off a bit more easily !

George is now a double break up on Dave in the second and leads 6-4 *4-1. I wonder is George is playing exceptionally well or if Dave's exertions of the last couple of weeks are catching up with him. Perhaps a bit of both. Either way, credit to George for taking advantage.

Luke is a break down in the 2nd set at 2-4*
