Funny how things happen isnt it, I have banged on about Sunderland a few times but Hamish played Strombachs the day I was there and the match followed a similar pattern. I wonder if he called himself dopey this time?


I have to say I disagree about a few comments RE Pauls ceiling - I really think he could have a brilliant career if he stays fit

The LTA deserve some credit for putting these on, they rightly got criticism a few years ago about the calendar but the last couple of years theyve nailed it.


I agree, he has had very few full years on tour, and even cracked the top 200 at one point. He has a nice game - I think he could go higher than his CHR. Top 100? Who knows - but I think barring injury he could rise back up beyond previous heights.

 I do hope people are right, I would be pleased to get this one wrong as I am a big fan of Paul and his back story makes you want him to succeed. I have always been concerned his game isnt "big enough" to make real headway into the top 100, that has always been my concern. But he has the skill and it never stopped Evo , for example.

just watched the second set of Broom match the German guy had a bad fall near scoreboard and match was stopped at 0-1. The German was better player Charles missed several volleys at net. He seemed to have no enthusiasm in the match much like the win against McHugh 2 days ago.

Kyle very hit and miss Stuart Parker very steady good serve. Kyle looks slower on baseline.

So 4 into the last 8 for certain. 3 in bottom half. Interested that Stuart was leading Kyle last I checked, albeit end of first set.

two excellent tie breaks from Stuart to win. He was more consistent throughout the match. Kyle too up and down some excellent forehand but plenty misses. Is he 100 per cent fit I am not sure? Keeps flexing his left knee

It would have been good to have Scottie's insights on that match.  It means an all-pesky top half.

QF:  Elmar Ejupovic (GER) WR 433 "defeated" (Q) Stuart Parker WR 733 by a walkover  bleh

I wonder what's up with Stuart.  Hope it's nothing serious.

 Sorry but I always find it really annoying when someone knocks out one of our players and that pulls out of the next round.  It could have been Kyle playing Ejupovic today.

 Presumably Stuart wasnt injured when he completed v Kyle or not badly? But to be honest, every point is important in WR terms and in terms of cash, so hard to blame Stuart in taking the win, even if annoying! It is pro sport and dog eat dog, I reckon.
