H to H according to the ATP is 3 to 1 in Billy favour, Grass is 1 a piece.


I actually looked there and saw 0-0 as the H2H.  Of course, that is just main tour events.  Only after you posted did I scroll down and see the Challenger/Futures H2H.

So good spot and thanks.

Cam was interviewed on the BBC site today/yesterday and talked about how he was trying to make his game more aggressive over the course of this season, to make the leap to the next level from where he was. He has taken some poor losses as a result, he said, but is sticking with the strategic changes to his game, trusting he will come good.

Brave man! And it clearly isnt working, yet.

 Interesting, for I have indeed thought that he seemed to be trying to more aggresive in play ( and actually in attitude at times ).

I do think it rather questionable. Cam to me is a grinder, and a very good one at that, and I am very far from convinced that this will prove a successful strategy.

But most certainly all the best to him.

Nah, can't be arsed any more.  I see it so often in the readers' comments section below ToL articles that I'm pretty much immune to it, so I just rolleyes.gif & disbelief to myself.  What IS tending to get my goat at the moment is the completely inexplicable use of "we're" when the plonkers actually mean "were", which is quite distracting - that & the placing of a question mark after what is clearly a statement (the printed equivalent of the infuriating practice of some people of raising the pitch of their voice at the end of a sentence in much the same way as we do naturally when asking a question - used to be the sole preserve of the Yanks, but I've noticed that people are doing it increasingly here, too  furious ).

I don't think it's ever been the sole preserve of the Yanks SC - have foind that Aussies do it much more.

And to give posters the benefit of the doubt, sometimes spellcheck can correct were to we're. And sometimes this site removes apostrophes from posts. And I consider myself a grammar pedant.

 In terms of myself - I usually, not always, type from my phone - I tend to dash off and therefore my spelling and grammar can go quite badly astray. Extra letters, missing apostrophes etc. And on the phone, the site always removes apostrophes and I really can't get excited about changing them!

The there for their is something I clearly know, I just didn't have time to go back and check, and didn't spot my error until Bob pointed out, in fact just before Bob spotted it. 

Clearly I prefer to get things right, but I am not a pedant, realise many errors are simply haste and phone typing related errors, and really don't get very excited about other people's mistakes or my own mistakes. Life has more important things to worry about!

In professional presentations or comms, I do get excited - it is my job. On this board, it really isn't important!
