What a lovely blog post: funny and insightful! I didn't know much about Henry, so that was very interesting. I especially hadn't realised he came round to the idea of playing tennis professionally so late or that, while I knew he and Julian had a storming season or so together, their rise was that meteoric. Also nice to see that Henry considers he and Julian are still friends after the split (which seemed a little bit unhappy at the time.)

Thanks for posting, Blue Belle. And yes, also rooting for Henry and Harri even more than I was!

What does Henry mean by the British system

 Isnt this the Louis Cayer coached approach to doubles - very structured and focused way of playing the court and the angles. I think the Cayer approach is the British system, obviously other coaches like Calvin Breton would be aligned into that. 

Interesting saying that Neal and lloyd would be good alternatives for him; glad to see he and Julian are good friends still - we always wonder here, dont we, but I guess separating the professional need from the personal friendship aspect is key at this level

And hope he and Liv Nicholls can get into the mixed at Wimbledon!!
