Shame. But that's a very decent effort from Toby against a guy who was ranked around 330 just 12 months ago.

Ouch. Glad I wasn't following scores on livescores. I would have had a heart attack.

A wonderful country full of wonderful people.

As a minimum Israel should have an ATP 500 and 3 challengers. In an ideal world it would also host an 1000 Masters, but no the ATP in hell bent on sending players to Yemen F50 and Turkey F25. What a joke.

Nice weather but futures about right for a country with a population the size of Denmark and little or no tennis legacy. No Freddy Nielsen or equivalent!

You can't have everything we suffer annual Eurovision song contest humiliation where as Israel is a country that has produce the ultimate Eurovision icon in Dana International. A glorious victory for Vandy to cherish.

In a bizarre set of circumstances, Israel announced live on air at eurovision that they were quitting. Europe has a lot to answer for. We have turned our back on friends.
