4 Brits through to the FQR is very impressive given that none of them were seeded! Let's hope some of them manage to win again and get some ranking points for all their work. The relevant 3 FQR matches will all be GB v AUS/ex-AUS.

QR2: Josh Milton WR 569 beat (q1) Rhyne Williams (USA) WR 188 (CH 114 last Aug) by 7-6(5) 6-2
QR2: Richard Gabb WR 434 lost to (q6) Benjamin Mitchell (AUS) WR 241 (CH 209 in 2012) by 2 & 3
QR2: Ed Corrie WR 353 beat Thanasi Kokkinakis (GRE) WR 323 (CH 321 last month) by 6-4 4-6 7-5
QR2: Marcus Willis WR 339 beat Robby Ginepri (USA) WR 279 (CH 15 in 2006) by 5-2 ret.
QR2: Brydan Klein WR 410 beat (q7) James McGee (IRL) WR 243 (CH 206 last month) by 4-6 6-3 6-4

FQR: Josh Milton WR 569 v (q6) Benjamin Mitchell (AUS) WR 241 (CH 209 in 2012)
FQR: Ed Corrie WR 353 v (q3) John-Patrick Smith (AUS) WR 198 (CH 181 last month)
FQR: Marcus Willis WR 339 v Brydan Klein WR 410

Josh v Mitchell H2H: 0-2 - 3 sets in Chiswick in 2011, 3 & 1 in Caloundra in 2012
Marcus v Brydan H2H: 0-2 - Brydan won 1 & 2 in Antalya in 2011 then 3 & 5 on grass in Manchester last year

Having served for it 5-2!  The boy's dicing with death a bit!  No more slip-ups, , Josh!

I'll happily have Josh similarly dicing with death in the final set. Not exactly near the clifftop anyway :)

Josh got bagelled in the final set, unfortunately

Beat a top 200 player, end up with no ranking points - it must be the grass court season

Marcus just phoned me won 7-6 in the 3rd 

Naturally both elated with this result defeating 2 significantly higher ranked players & first win in 3 matchs v Klein . 

Congrats to Matt smith who has done great job to preparing Marcus on the grass at surbiton 

Regards

Gary
