Real shame for Sean -saw a fair bit of that first set and he was playing extremely well - and have several set points in the tie-break. But the guy just put everything back, but everything.....
Well done to Anton and Ben though.
There are a lot of decent MD places (some against fellow Brits, of course) - fingers crossed for them....
Clay Crawford was a very decent junior, about JWR 100.
Good to see him in a draw. First time since 2015.
Hes a good college player who stalled at challenger level, saw him win a money tournament back in 2016 fun to watch his namesake however is a much much better basketball player!
We had one seeded to qualify, indeed one certain to qualify from the Jonathan Binding section though it didn't end up being Jonathan. But peskies seeded to qualify from the other 7 brackets.
