Ok, I have just watched Rhett do the most lazy, useless, unprofessional and completely uninterested warm-up I have ever seen (and I mean I have EVER seen).

Now the match has started he's actually playing. And plays pretty decently.

But, frankly......

Don't know. I watched up to 4-3 in the first, I think it was, when the match got stopped (I assume for rain although, to be honest, I'm not sure as I couldn't see much, and - being on clay - I didn't quite understand why light rain would be a problem)

Rhett had two set points against serve at 6-5

But didn't take them and lost the tie-break quite easily.

He plays pretty well from the knees up ..... unfortunately you need to play pretty well from the soles of your feet up.

Mind you, Evan King is a long way off being impressive too...
