Brandon Murphy, still a junior and a long-time fave, and who is most certainly not part of the favoured, affluent blazer brigade, has chalked up a win in R1 at Sutton.

Rooting for you, Brandon !

A little shout out to Millen Hurrion (a completely new name for me) who has made the men's doubles final and the mixed doubles final, and lost to Neil P in the singles 6-4 6-4, which is a decent score.

Seemingly, he was a freshman at college in the US this year, intends to be doing 15 and 25ks next year, with his sights set on challengers in two years and then ATP.

I know many say it, and few can achieve it, but good luck to him.....

The Butler - Murphy match was a brilliant spectacle. There was a huge crowd for a British Tour, and the level in the third set was phenomenal. Only 15 unforced errors total. Samm broke to go 3-2, then 4-2. There was a 15 minute game on Brandons serve then where Samm had points for 5-2, Brandon held with a ridiculous BH passing shot, then broke for 4-4, held for 5-4. Then a 7 deuce game on Samms serve which he eventually held. Then Samm broke for 6-5 and was broken to 15 when serving for it. At 2-2 in the TB Brandon got cramp in his hand. Then a remarkable stream of winners to finish. Really felt for Samm. It was a hell of a performance from
Both.
