Where's this stupid bloody expression "net, net" coming from & what's it supposed to mean? confuse  Every time I see it, I'm put in mind of a cartoon rodent snuffling "net, net"... scratchhead.gif

LOL. Coup has been using it for 3 years and the first time Indie uses it you jump on him. biggrin 

 

Lordy, SMC, if you can remember what I said three years ago (THREE!!!), that's truly awesome/terrifying!

And back to the topic in question:

Don't look now but Dan Dowson leads 6-3 3-0 against the top seed

Not ideal, of course, but not that high a ranked top seed and Dan would never have been in qualifying if he had entered normally, indeed he would have been close to having been seeded in the main draw. Net, net just a bit over 200 difference in rankings.

 

Spot on, Indy - pertinent point and good call:

R1: (Q) Dan Dowson WR 942  def.  (1) Nicolas Alberto Arreche (ARG) WR 724   6-3  6-2  smile

Still looks a very good and decisive win however many nets were being taken into account. Well done, Dan

Well, they've got three courts in action so I'm going for: net, net net, that's a brilliant result, Dan, and keep going ! smile

I find myself sympathising with SC here, I must admit, but it's worth getting irritated by that phrase again for the laugh I got when I followed Indiana's urban dictionary link

I'm sure we all have pet phrases that irritate the hell out of other people without us realising it though!

Getting back on-topic, I'm not sure I've ever seen a no. 1 seed ranked that low in a 10K before (680 at the seeding date, 724 now), even at the 'East African safari' Futures, though I haven't checked that so no doubt I'm wrong.

L16:  (Q) Dan Dowson WR 942 vs (WC) Shota Meparidze (GEO) UNR

I'm glad it was the Georgian WC who won his first round match & not his opponent...

 On the basis that one's good, two better and three best ? wink

But maybe not....(or then again....)

Over in Latvia () Jonny and Ewan have taken the first set of their doubles 6-1, against the Chilean brothers.

James and Dan on here tomorrow - one big happy family.....
