With regards to the Warwickshire comment, Solihull is in West Midlands anyway.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Both Lloyd and Dan are from within the Brum-ooo-dah triangle M42/M5/M6.

Even Warwickshire county cricket club have abandoned their county and rebadged themselves as the Birmingum Bears.

As those from Dudley will tell you better a Pear than a Bear! That said I have absolutely no problems following Brummies and until their mums tell me otherwise Brummies they are.

Good luck to them both

Ed should be on at 22:30. As the Doubles on before hasn't happened due to a W/O.

GBJ · Club Coach

Looks like a tournament win would take Dan pretty close to a career high ranking but not quite there. 124 at best.

DF · Tennis legend

Ed's match has started 1-1

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Still no break points. Good quality tennis. 4-3

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Ed got the first break chance. Played too short and allowed Danc. to hit a winner.

Constructed another chance really nicely and played a great point to get it.

Now to serve for the set....

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Lost the first point and then won the next four, playing lovely positive tennis.

First set to Ed, 6-3

DF · Tennis legend

Well Done. More of the same,please.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Very solid stuff, serving well and getting to the net quickly and finishing off the point.

Ed broke in the first game. Then held. Dancevic has now won a game but that was 5 in a row he lost.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

the crowd are trying to galvanise their player, and having a little success.

But he played a poor game there, and Ed had a couple of chances to break, and/or to force even more break points, and didn;t manage to do it (chose the right shot twice but missed one by a little and one by a lot). Shame as that would have about ended the match.

But *3-2, still with the break.
