Good stuff. Threatening GB top 25, tied 'in running' with Toby Martin, who also won today, on 17 points as GB #25 & #26 in the post French Open rankings.

The boys drew a complete blank in the doubles:

R1: (1) Jonathan Kanar & François-Arthur Vibert (FRA/FRA) CR 1261 (642+619) defeated (WC) James Allemby & Ramy Labna (EGY) UNR by 6-4 7-6(5)

Not a bad score agin the top seeds.

R1: (3) Carlos Taberner & Kento Yamada (ESP/JPN) CR 1728 (816+912) defeated Dan Dowson & Augusto Laranja (BRA) UNR (774+0 - but a CH of 327 in May 2013) by 7-5 7-6(0)

Again, quite a creditable performance.

By the way Simon Carr got his first point and lost a respectable 4&4 to Sousa!

I've seen Simon Carr a couple of times at the Liverpool junior event and I rated him then. Temperament was a bit suspect though.

And another one who's dad was/is a professional footballer, I think.

So - if the LTA can encourage more parents into professional football we should get more/ better young tennis players? Brilliant idea!
