Neil beat Griekspoor in three sets at Barnstable in November - so fingers crossed for a repeat (but in two this time !)

 Fingers crossed indeed.  Neil is serving for the match at *5-4 in the 2nd having taken the 1st set 7-5

Great win for Neil - got his serve going after a slow start.

Good day for Richard:

Good win for Neil, I have great admiration for his passion for tennis and persistence, clearly a man who never does a days work in his life when he is on a tennis court.

This type of win makes you think top 300 ish is where he is sitting from a performance perspective, let's hope he can put a few more W's out here so his ranking gets closer to his optimal performance level and make the awarding of a Wimbledon Qualifying WC feasible. I would imagine there are a fair number of posters who would enjoy the opportunity of seeing him play there.
