Close in on that top 400 Richard!

He's got 6 points coming off this week so, even with 3 here, he's still going down this week. Unless, of course, he goes on to win further matches - which is 100% possible of course smile And, big picture, the top 400 looks well likely.

Ed looks to be on his way: *2-1 in the second...

paulisi · Tennis legend

Ed a break up second set, Dan a break up first set.

Ed has a lot of points to defend in the next couple of weeks. A couple more wins will do him the world of good.

As Stircrazy will tell you, it isn't possible to win less points than someone.
Huh? And it's "fewer points", by the way...
Precisely.
Ah, now I see. I'd been deliberately biting my tongue on that one, so to speak, but with considerable difficulty... You finally tempted me to nail my colours to the mast!
P.S. I couldn't help but notice that you managed to correct the spelling of my user name quite quickly.

Haha - those in glass houses...

All the more exciting by the fact that this is a 15K, so more points about to be on offer than for the 10K they usually play in.

I too (as a teacher) have been biting my tongue on numerous posts - also for the lack of apostrophes. It hasn't been easy!

Nicely done, boys

L16: (5) Ed Corrie WR 329 beat (Q) Daniel Chu (CAN) UNR (29yo, CH 1293 in 2012) by 4 & 4

L16: (4) Dan Smethurst WR 305 beat (WC) Raheel Manji (CAN) UNR (16yo junior WR 886) by 4 & 1

L16: (6) Richard Gabb WR 430 beat Dean O'Brien (RSA) WR 510 (CH 509 in Feb) by 5-7 6-4 6-3

Ed plays Halebian next, Dan gets Wietoska and Richard will play 2nd seed Gigounon if he gets past Krainik later today.

Tell me about it, but don't get me started...! That said, I'm a linguist by profession, rather than a teacher, & one who by nature doesn't suffer fools gladly when it comes to her chosen field, so am arguably even less inclined to make allowances for the many grammatical transgressions of the little dears on here, but having been admonished frequently by the mods in the days before I became one of them myself & reluctantly come to the conclusion that I was fighting a losing battle anyway (by & large, thanks to the apparent long-term indifference of so many English teachers - I myself never had what I would regard as a formal English grammar lesson, but effectively taught myself as a result of learning German & Latin in particular & I was at secondary school in the late 60s/early 70s - people these days are so ignorant of their mother tongue that they just don't care any more, even when the error of their ways is pointed out to them. That in itself makes me think that the time is not far off when people will be reduced to communicating in grunts & gestures rather than intelligible, coherent sentences once more - or Apple & Samsung will eventually make their confounded so-called smart phones so "intelligent" that they can do it for them! cry ). Rant over (long time since I've indulged in one, too...).
