Yes, the timing on the post doesn't make it clear that my sigh was not that Mr Bloomfield lost here (at that point, he was still in the running) but rather that I think anyone who can do as well as he does under the circumstances could have done so much more, if only. he'd not been so plagued with injuries.

In terms of how people do in this kind of tournament, I can see the logic for hoping that those who are still on the Tour win ... though, that said, we don't know what excellent tennis projects others might wish the money for.
