I guess they think competing on clay is better for their development. I can't think of another reason!

 Given I believe Oli has had his funding reviewed for deciding to play the grass rather than follow 'team instructions' to go off to the clay with the other guys, I imagine it doesn't matter what Liam, Luke and Ashley think is better for their development!!

This seems to some up the somewhat prescriptive attitude to development by the LTA for those that take it's pounds.  There never seems any suggestion of a collaborative approach (with the possible exception of the Kyle/Beecher dynamic, now sadly over).

 

I hadn't heard that. And am now even more pleased that Oli won.

It cannot make sense to have a 'one-size-fits-all' approach.

How can it be right for Liam AND Luke AND Oli (AND Ash) to ALL have to go to the US ? They are not the same players, not the same strengths, not the same profiles or personalities.

I do hope the new powers that-be-sort this out.

Maybe they know something about the forthcoming vote that we don't. Nice win for him - it's his home tournament, so to speak, is it not?

Does anyone know wether Dan the man gets any funding, my understanding is it stops at 24. I presume the guys who go to college in the US are no considered good enough to be funded by the LTA

SF: Jared DONALDSON (USA) / Fares GHASYA (LBA) 6-3 6-4 Daniel MANLOW (GBR) / Ashley WATLING (GBR)


But that's 10 points for the doubles, which I think (for both of them) is their first doubles points.
