Three very nice victories for Barnaby Smith, with a top 1000 win, and a seemingly kindly draw (although the guy was top 50 in juniors a couple of years ago).
And he has a play in the doubles.
Barnaby is one of Bob's 'waifs and strays', isn't he, collected en route during mega globetrotting ?

Never met Barnaby but met his parents, purely by chance, standing in the queue waiting to go in to the DC final in Belgium. Just happened to get chatting to the people in front of me and they started telling me about their son who would soon be playing futures. When I asked them what was his name, they said "Barnaby Smith" and I put my foot in my mouth by asking if that was a double barrelled surname. So I have tried to follow his progress since.
Talking about my "waifs and strays", I may be on laundry duty again next week as another of them is playing near in Gandia, Spain. That is less than two hours for me. I am sure you will work out who I am talking about from the clue.
And I see that Barnaby is on the alts list, but probably too far down to get in.
I see Barnaby is currently showing as 11th alt for that Spain 25K next week. I'd think a decent chance of getting in if he was to stay with it but he's geographically rather far away just now ( and hey might go deep here ).

Didn't spot Barnaby on that list. Of course, he has a ranking now, so I didn't look that far "south".
