Cheers for the updates Topemp - when you have a few minutes spare could you provide an insight into Lloyd Glasspool's game as very few have seen it(as he has been at college in USA)

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Willis using lobs effectively and one of them seals 2nd set point to win it 6-4.
JM having to work hard to stay in it but he's managing so far 1-6 3-*2 down.

Love the updates Topemp.

Richard Gbb is playing too, I believe....but a set down...

Topemp · Strong Club Player

MW well on top now, tho neither playing dominant on serve. 64 3-*0
JM fighting hard but not looking like breaking.
Bossel to serve for it 61 54 up.
Not seen Gabb but he's losing

Topemp · Strong Club Player

LG saved 2bps to hold but MW held for 64 41
Bossel just too good, tho JM battled bravely. 61 64.
Gabb serving at 24 and a set down

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Evans -Pauffley now on court that AB -JM played on.

Glad to hear that James M put up a good fight - Bossel is a class act - would have been a fair bit higher probably, if not for health concerns.

Be interesting to see how Evo regroups here.

Latest LG backhand error gives match to Willis 64 62
Gabb 45* down in 2nd

Two dfs gives NP bp, but Evans holds for 65
Strachan breaks early for 2-0, then holds comfortably for 3-0 over 2nd seed Halys though suspect it won't last.

I've been hearing rumours for a short while that Oli was back in training but haven't been sure what to make of them. Him playing dubs here and at County Week gives some substance to them but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Don't hold your breath; not one chance in a thousand. Playing futures for fun perhaps. Aspiring to pro-tennis represents a way of life that, once forsaken, is gone for good. It cannot just be mothballed.
