Well Done James!!

Phew, I watch from 3-0 in the final set and I must say it was totally uninspiring with the amount of UEs. So glad James got the W though.

Forbesman · Social player

Great result!

If so, that can be an absolute bummer. Let's hope he moves to get it sorted definitively rather than let it linger as a continuing excuse of sorts.

I always wonder why tennis players so often do this. Its seems to have been clear that his knee is causing such a problem that just waiting and hoping (while still playing matches which the issue was always going to make it hard to win them) just seems crazy. Obviously some of the treatments for some of the injuries such as surgery can't be taken too lightly but if Evans had taken action sooner you would think his ranking drop wouldn't end up being as far as it will be now.

Same with Laura

I make that 70 points (so far) and up to about 130 in the rankings, which would be new CH of course.

TMH · Futures qualifying

70 - 25 for the Q, 45 for the R1 win.

Another 45 on offer if he can make R3.

Up to provisional #130.

Thats worth a glass or two of Chianti this evening ( in Rome for a few days)

Blaz Rola or Julien Bennetaeu in round 2, winnable!

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

My web browser has been playing up something chronic these past days so the live stream was unwatchable, so i flounced off in a huff and left James to his own devices - which obviously worked very well :)

However, great win, yet another. . . And, yep, a decent next match.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Great stuff from James

Reeltime · Satellite level

Not bad at all.

Am I right in remembering that Wardy has beaten Blaz Rola a couple of times already this year ?

Edit

OK, I'll try not to be so lazy. Wardy beat Rola in the Qualies at RG and then again on the grass at Queens.
