Well that was straight forward. NOT.

Beating Spanish players on clay is always a good result, especially when they have a similar ranking.

Good work Alex.

As in the first set, Alex up a break early at 2-0*, but with 7 breaks in 14 games so far, the serve doesn't seem that important.

Not this time.  Mallorca is a bit far for someone who can't swim wink

Alex down to play Murcia/Cartegena in the 2nd half of this month.  I will hopefully be there for those.

Aahhh, that's where I was getting confused. But what's a bit of water to someone who treks vast distances across the European continent to see a Brit hit a little yellow ball?

Massive hold for Alex. Leading *4-3 in the decider, Alex found himself 0-40 down but won 5 points in a row to lead 5-3*
