Anyone want to shed some light on. Neil's low career high?
I assume you mean his CH of 406.
I suspect, it is just down to injuries (had some back issues), inconsistency and lack of funds

I agree with Bob - solid game, but much better when he approaches to the net. Just a bit inconsistent at times.

Inconsistency is the biggest issue for me. After 2 years of injuries, he worked up to the CH of 406. Then didn't defend enough of his points and then never got going again. Lack of luck has also been a factor!

Spectator · All-time great

Yes, he is most decidedly a magnet for seeds and tricky players ... not that it has been an issue today! Congratulations to him on a good win.
