He seems to be getting closer. I'd like to see him make the top 1000.
I did see him play and he's very patchy, but the ability is there.
Yes, I saw him play once last year and, without overstating it, thought also that there was some good stuff there.
He had a very strange court demeanor when I saw him though - I wonder if it was the same with what you saw??? (i.e. rather 'sad', almost tearful half of the time - not cross, or hang-dog, or gloomy, just 'sad').
Weird.. oh well, better luck next time I suppose. All in all a decent day though
They've now changed it to Barry winning 6-4 in the third ! (So you were quite right). And the gizmo on that court has caused nothing but trouble ALL day. However, they haven';t changed it to Barry not winning at all . . .
