Pity re Evo.

But it would appear to have been a late decision that he was ready enough to go and he will at least be competitively very rusty.

Let's give the guy some grace period before proclaiming that if it carries on like this ( one tournament ) he might chuck it.

 That's not quite how I put it.

Dan has 108pts to defend in Feb out of 142pts.

If he cannot defend many points in the next few weeks, he will be ranked in the 650-700 range, will have to play futures and is unlikely to get the benefit of a seeding either.

It's well known that Dan dislikes the ITF futures circuit and if he has to play the futures circuit for any length of time he may call it a day. He nearly did it before.....

There is no doubt the talent is there - no one is sure about the attitude.

Wins for Dan S, Joe and Milts is a set up.

Looks like another Brit fest - with just two non GB wins so far and only the French/Scot favourite to come through in the remaining matches.

Milts and Marcus are a break down in their second sets having taken the opener. Rosenzweig has just won the first set 6-4

Milts broke back and won the tie break.

Marcus into a decider

Dave Porter a break up in the second set having lost the first

Alex is a set and a break up.

Hoping Tom F is in good form this week. On his day he is probably the best player in the field(based on seeing him win both Manchester and Wirral last year pummelling in form Bossel and Smethurst)

Well done Marcus. I am a fan of yours now since watching the US Challenger circuit last summer. (6 - 2 in the decider)

 

15 Aces and 10 double faults   !!!!

No joy for David Porter.
Comfortable win for Tom.

JWH is the last man on court in singles and he lost the first set to Marshall on a tie break.

 No - just a bit too far ,especially with the weather forecast.

Quite in the office, so had a chance to follow closely.

If the forecast is better for Saturday and the final is interesting, I might consider going.

Well done Marshall !! Following up on some encouraging results towards the end of last year (I think that Marshall has finished uni now - is he going to now give it a proper go ? Or am I confusing him with someone else?). Anyway, if there are going to be upsets, nice to see it's a Brit in this instance that's doing the 'upsetting' :)

It's only about an hour from me.  I would love to see Marcus (and others)  play  but  can't really spare the time.
