Sam is a good solid player and will be a tough opponent for any of the Brits. Shows how well Harry is playing at the moment.

I like the Irish players too. They get practically zero funding. And Sam Barry is, I believe, also doing a part-time degree course of some sort. Credit to him.

Now there's a typo that maybe needs correcting before the nickname sticks biggrin

Neli... whoops.... Neil is now *2-5 down.

Serve is only one (often smallish) part of tennis but Neil has 0 Aces and 6 Double Faults. That's really not great for men's tennis and indoors too.
Barry is 2 and 3. Julien 2 and 4. Far more normal. And Marucs is 11 and 3 (some of those willbombs).
Does Neil often have a problem with serve?

Neil loses 6-2 6-2 to Sam Barry

TMH · Futures qualifying

I've noticed quite a few of the Brits have pretty poor aces to double faults ratios. Oli is terrible for it, often serving up 10+ double faults to 0-2 aces. Think I've noticed Broady and Bambridge have similar problems (although this is all going off ITF live scores stats which aren't the most reliable).
