Monsieur Lakat has merely cashed in along with Julian on the American College Football sponsored (subsidised is probably more accurate) shamateurism of the NCAA tennis set up, sort of capitalism with a socialist twist. I just wish we could get the EPL to share the love amongst the grass roots of UK sport in general but I digress.

Shame our Lone Bulldog couldn't bring home the spoils of a doubles futures final but it should be fun watching his and the all British Tigers pop up in a few more Southern US futures events over the next few years. Memphis always generally regarded as a Basketball superpower fully exploiting the one and done principle through which they can get in NBA superstars for a year (amazing the NCAA managed to pull that off) seems to be strengthening their tennis programme utilising the LTA in a development capacity.
The idealist sees a potential symbiotic relationship but the realist tells me that I should enjoy it for what it is, Greenwich Borough v Dulwich Hamlet but here's hoping we have sent them Andy Gray and Ian Wright, Wright, Wright.
