RE: British Tour 2015

RJA · Hall of fame

I wouldn't worry too much about walk overs or retirements on the British Tour. For most ranked players these events are simply practice sessions.

Madadman · Top national player

However winning this meant another £700 which i wouldn't imagine you'd retire from without reason. Hopefully it was just a niggle and Dan is planning to enter Manchester Qualifying and didn't want to make it worse.

Just a reminder that this means that Joe will get a wildcard to the Wimbly wildcard play-offs (which I doubt he'd need as he would get a place anyway, or maybe even a direct Wimbly quali wildcard, but just in case . . .).

If he doesn't need it, Dan gets it. Unless - of course - Dan would get one anyway (which he presumably must, or - again - not need to because he has a Wimbly quali wildcard direct).

If neither Dan nor Joe need it, the wildcard is free up and allocated as seen fit.

So, Harry meehan is having an outing with his tennis racquet, at the Tour event in Graves.

Scott Duncan, David Porter and Clay Crawford are the other seeds.

But Harry lost, in his opening match.....

So the semis are:

(5) Sam Price v Howard Scott

(4) Clay Crawford v Jack Macfarlane

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

FinaL: (4) Clay Crawford def. Howard Scott 5-7 6-2 6-2

(Howard is in the US, at the Uni of Wisconsin, pursuing 'the dream')

In NOrth Oxford, the two ranked players, Alexis Canter and Scott Duncan, were knocked out in the early rounds.

In the semis:

Jonathan Gray plays Vincent Gillespie

Tiran Sanghera plays Ravi Patel

PS A special mention for Tiran Sanghera who, I've just seen, is only 16 with no track record in juniors whatsoever (as far as I can see), having only played a few adult matches, and has done better than Alexis Canter and Ewan Moore (6-9 months his senior). Well done, Tiran, and good tennis !

Tier 1 event this week:

Neil P and Jonny O'Mara are the top two seeds.

Other ATP-ranked players are: Keelan, Marcus Walters, Ben Stride, Julian Cash, Evan Hoyt and Scott Duncan

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

In the quarters, Neil beat Scott Duncan, Julian Cash beat Evan Hoyt in three, Adam Glynn defeated keelan and Jonnie O'mara beat Miles McDowall

In the semis, poor Jonny had to retire - not great news . .

And Neil came through against Julian Cash in three.

So [1] Neil plays (Q) Adam Glynn in the final

Victory for Neil.

Slightly relieved. Neil has struggled feeling poorly this week. Relaxing weekend ready for Frinton next week!
