Well, I was always going to be both delighted and disappointed which ever way the result went. In the end, it is great that they produced such a competitive match so congratulations to both players on a great week.

I have yet to see Lloyd play but I can vouch for the fact that Jonny is a natural talent, especially on the forehand side. He is very much on my list for Top 500 this year, and he cooks a mean pasta dish too, which I can also vouch for.

It really looks as though the change of rackets is working for him and as others have said, I hope that he gets a sustained period without injury so we can see were his potential can take him.

Rankings wise, Jonny will rise about 100 places to the mid 730's when these points go on. Lloyd has 28 points to add from the last couple of weeks which my sneak him inside the Top 350. It goes without saying that these will be CH rankings for both players.

I remember standing in the queue at Wimbledon speaking to a guy from Arbroath who said what a good player Jonny O Mara was this was about 8 years so Jonny would have been about 13/14 big things expected at that time. Interested to see if this week kick starts his move up the rankings
