Some decent tennis on show today, you can forget that even at this level, the standard is still very high.

Well done, Clay.

There seem to be generally many less ranked players at British Tour events this year. Related to prize money cuts ?

 Winner received £250 here, tier one's get £750.

Judging from CD's post in the general section, they are all over playing league tennis in France.  I counted 9 (I think) ranked players this week alone from the men. Admittedly one or two have retired from the tour but still hold a ranking.

Jathan Malik narrowly beat Josh Sapwell in the top-half semi. (Sapwell''s first proper tournament for about 6 months - he did well - do so hope his arm holds out . . . )

Adam Skalsky defeated Kyle Fellows in the other semi.

In Essex, with Rob Carter getting knocked out in round one, and Oli Hudson losing out in the semis, it's all a bit skinny for the seeds, leaving us with 'unknown' names:

Final:

Oskar Wynne (Q) (tennis coach down at Exeter, I think) v Julien Belair (Q) (from Canada, I believe)

There's a mega big turnout at Felixstowe this week - guess it's the official start of the grass season

Dan Evans is top seed, Josh WH second, also Joe Salisbury, James Marsalek, Bloomers, as well as Adam TB, Skalsky, Hudson as ATP ranked players, and a couple of very good juniors (eg. Cannell)

It is also a very well run event with good facilities.  The fact that it is a Premier Event with £1,500 for the winner probably helps too!

Dan Evans came through in three sets. Mason Recci beat Adam TB. Skalsky beat youngster Cannell in three sets.

Wins too for Josh WH, Joe S, Hudson, Marzi, Billy Harris . . .

Marzi had to concede a w/o - hope he's OK.

But in the semis, Dan Evans beat Billy Harris 6-4 4-6 6-4 and Joe S beat Josh WH 6-1 6-4

So Dan E v Joe in the final
