Nice to see forumite, Joe Cooper, in the double mix - good luck, Joe !

And given that the points in the dubs only start from SF onwards (as I keep forgetting --- duh), worth noting that we have at least three Brits guaranteed in the semis.

I agree with the comments above - it seems to me that there's a fair chance that the powers that be do not look too favourably on Oli.... let's hope that it is temporary and that his results speak for themselves and force the issue .....

 Did Oli do something to offend them? I don't really get it.

 A federation takes it very badly when someone they've put a huge amount of time and effort into suddenly quits, or changes nationality, or whatever. (Especially when that federation is short of players and there is a lot of pressure to produce some new 'stars').

I'm not saying Oli's to blame at all, just that I bet the LTA were not at all happy.

Billy's not been getting the results he'd want, these past couple of weeks.

Lloyd is one set up against P Bothwell, 6-1.

Marcus lost the opening set breaker 12-10 but has since fought back to take the 2nd 6-3 and is already up a double break in the 3rd at *3-0

As for Billy, I wonder if a break wouldn't do him any harm. He plays almost every week, and if you add that to the traveling in the Billy Mobile, the fatigue must catch up with you in the end. He will no doubt play Barnstaple next week but I would recommend 3 or 4 weeks off after that to recharge his (and the van's) batteries.

With no doubles and all the matches on just three courts, they'll certainly be playing singles fairly late if anyone wants to go down after work.

Jack D did well to win the first set off against the French 4th seed on his Futures main draw debut, but Escoffier appears to have gained the upper hand at 3-6 6-3 3-1 (had a point for 4-0)
