Darn, shame.

There was an MTO after the first set. I think it may have been for Cam.

Cam had a match point in the tie-break.  cry


 Really bad loss.

I am starting to revaluate Norrie career potential.

He has really odd looking ground strokes, and I am not seeing any major weapons developing.  I think if he stays fit he will be a challenger/atp 250 player than floats around the 35-80 mark for 5-6 years.

 Personally I think that's a pretty good prediction although I'd be happy seeing someone knocking around that ranking level.

 It is a shame, in that in this current crop, the GB player with the strongest talent, weapons and game, is the weakest of them mentally (Edmund).

Kyle needs a coaching set-up which helps work on his mentality and the messages he sends out on court. Fredrik Rosengren was apparently very good for him in that regard in paying attention to much more than tennis strokes and there was for a time a noticeable difference in his on-court demeanour.

Tight but good to see Luke get a win! Big match next, again in the context of Jamie and Neal's potential chances for London!

I love how Purcell & Saville are currently top 8 in the race and they can't even get into Vienna 500...
