That's a surprise, well done to Lloyd and partner. Not good for Luke and Ben but I guess they probably lost by the slimmest of margins.

That's quite a feather in Lloyd's & Alex's respective caps!

Lloyd was a very good doubles player at college. I'm surprised he didn't focus more on doubles when he went pro.
He will be a top 100 doubles player.

Yes. That was the point I made above too - that it would make quite a lot of sense for Lloyd to focus on doubles - he's given singles a decent go - it's been OK, but not much more - if he wants to stay in tennis and progress, doubles is a decent option for him.

I've followed Llloyd's career closely since he was 17 and have to agree with what Paulisi and particularly Coup Droit say in their last posts.

I would have liked to see him play singles for a few more months and given the grass court season / Wimbledon one last shot. With him not playing singles at the last two events it looks as though he may now be concentrating on doubles, so all the best to him.
