JWH potential?

Might make a half decent doubles player but as a singles player he is extremely limited.

And, from the other side, I think top 100 in singles. But not till the age of 25 or so. He's got a lot of 'growing up' to do in his tennis.

I think he has huge potential at singles, but it will take time to develop. He is only fairly new to tennis and will need three or four years to develop his game.

He will improve his points scoring when the grass season starts.

The boys are underway in Qatar - well Oli and Ashley anyway.

Oli, Liam and Luke all have tricky matches.

It's all gone AWOL in Qatar.

Bet365 says Luke is 0-3* down against one of the Spanish twins. Which would suggest Ashley's match finished very fast (bagel win? Retirement?)

The others have disappeared . . .

 Yep you're right he needs another three or four years, so what about the last 15 years where he's played none stop tennis?

Luke has lost the first set 1-6 to Javier, the lowly-ranked Spaniard who took out JWH.

And, although I don't agree with what you say, hello Timothy.

Welcome to the board Timothy. I was always led to believe that Josh didn't take up tennis seriously until his mid-teens and is now only just 20 years old. Didn't he move over from basketball or something ?  Not sure you could describe that as "15 year of non-stop tennis"

Good to see Luke at least got on the board in that first set, which is more than can be said for the others, whose matches have disappeared completely. Neither ITF nor Bet365 have any reference to them at the moment.

Great find Bright Spark.

Think I heard "Final Set" but didn't catch the score.
