RJA · Hall of fame

Today was the first time since Chiswick (last August) that 8 first round doubles were played at a British futures event. In the 11 tournaments since then there has been at least 1 bye, walkover or default.

that's a fascinating piece of trivia I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to use - and one of the many reasons I truly love this site (second only to the punning I think )

a good day in the singles all told and we can't always have it our own way in the doubles. my thanks as always to those who updated scores.

DWH · Club Coach

Liam won 6-1 7-5. Was untroubled on serve until serving for the match but broke again and closed it out at the second attempt.

TMH · Futures qualifying

Fancy Dan drops the first set 4-6 to Ymer.

Neil lost the first set on a tie-break but won the second 6-1 and is now a break up in the third.

Liam will play 4th seed Kontinen in the QFs who beat Halys in straights.

steven · Tennis legend

Ashley has won the 2nd set 6-3

paulisi · Tennis legend

It looks like it should be an all GB final if Dan S can win his next match.

Harry pushed Ed for a set. Neil P and Luke pushing towards that top 500 and Marzi might be going in the right direction if he can see off Ashley.
