Olivetti is French. The guy has a simply huge serve and is thus very difficult to break on grass.

Yes. I mentioned him on the 13/06 thread (Olivetti, that is). A false ranking, for sure.

But he's been plagued with injuries. Which included 6 months off. Shoulder problems. And then 2 months of complete immobilisation of the top half of his body. To prevent total nerve damage. And about another year of rehab.

It's been horrible for him. Can't help but wish him well.

I was adding a link to the full qualifying draw ( as per Steven's tweet ) in my first post and now the whole post has disappeared !

Bah, I forgot links can be a problem - moved to spam ?

Edit : ah, restored, thank you if that was done kind mod, thank you magic otherwise.

In a serve dominated match ( particularly Joe's serve it seems ) Joe Salisbury leads Jay Clarke 7-6(6) 2-1*

Main Draw out WCs for O Mara who sadly gets top 100 number one seed Thompson, Klein, Broady and Glasspool.

No Milts or Bambridge. It's this week for the play offs isn't it I wonder if that's a factor?
