Hard to believe how far Harrison has fallen.

Excellent win by Brydan !!!!!!!!!

Super passing shot on his third MP to take it.

7-5 in the third. Well done, that man....

Good stuff. Brydan certainly seems to be getting into groove again after over three months out prior to the French Open. And seems very comfortable on grass.

Brydan had two MPs in that second set tie-break.

But overall he didn't quite give the Millot backhand enough respect. And has lived to regret it.

Millot wins 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4

That's Brydan's 8th loss in a row in Challenger singles semi-finals since winning his one Challenger singles title in Burnie in 2009 but nevertheless, given the recent injury and the fact that he hadn't picked up any singles points at all in 2016 until he came here, a really excellent week for him

As mentioned a while back, the French have built and just opened (two weeks back) a huge grass court complex in the North of France, at Deauville.

It's the first in the country and made a lot of press headlines.

Needless to say, Millot had been there all last week, getting in some solid training (as had Halys, as many others).

There was even a little competition (a money tournament, I think), where Chardy defeated Ιduoard R-V

The final was attended by over 500 spectators .....

Obviously helped Millot..... :(

That's good to hear, given 25% of the worlds Grand Slams are played on grass, it's profile worldwide is relatively weak. There is something magical about grass and sport, for me the mere sight of a patch of green framed with white lines stirs some very deep rooted emotions and when darkness has descended and the floodlights are on, well I am a cup of Bovril away from the ultimate sensory experience. But I digress.

The extra week between Paris and Wimbledon, I feel has been successfully exploited by the LTA, i.e. I like the tournaments scheduled and the opportunity it gives for players to prepare properly. It is nice to see the French taking the surface seriously with the creation of a resource that will facilitate optimal preparation of their players and the consolidation in growth of Lawn tennis that that implies. Maybe even an opportunity to cross the channel and see the French grass roots in action.

I just wish they would have a few futures (25ks) on the grass as well.
