Five is pretty good

Looking back to last year, we only had three lads who got through the first round

Suspended-probably rain (as is Wimbledon)

DavidC · Tennis legend

A tough match in prospect for Henry against the Dutch prodigy who has been mentioned a few times in this section (Les Petits As winner, still only 14, who won 30 consecutive ITF matches around the turn of the year - ended by Henry) Thijs has found it tougher going since entering the top 50 and playing top grade ITF events, but it is very rare for someone of his age to be in the top 50. Like Hannah Klugman he is more than 100 ranking places above anyone else in his cohort
