Inspired by Steven - see Tabarka thread

A player called Alistair Gray
Won three matches all in one day
In singles hes flowing
In doubles with Ewan
My goodness this young man can play.

Mr Daniel Cuckierman, the qualifier from Israel, very kindly single-handedly took out three Frenchmen - and well done, that man!

But he's now beating up our Ali Gray rather (although it's early days, 0-3). Which is not the same and has to be stopped !

Cuckierman's an interesting case - he had to spend three years in the Israeli army, from 18-21, and then went off to US college at 22 (he's about 24 now). He's at the Uni of Southern California. So he's behind the curve a bit (and didn't play any ITF juniors at all, from what I can see).

But he's obviously a very decent player. He says:

"In 2016, I beat Amir Weintraub, who is 160 in the world, at the Israel Championship. I lost in the finals to the #17 in the world"

However, if he could kindly rein it in a bit now, that would be appreciated.....

Jack has just taken the 1st set 10-8 in a TB.

And in other news, Ali Gray has just fought back to take the 2nd set 6-4.

So frustrating that there's no stream for this - I'd so love to watch our best two young male prospects fighting it out on court!

 Yes, and it would have been so easy for them to set up a fixed camera at the least.
