British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

SF:  Jiri Lehecka (CZE) WR 30 defeated (2) Jack Draper WR 6 by 6-4 4-6 7-5  

Jack outplayed by the Czech - Czech-mated, you almost say.    Disappointing.

You could see how hard they were both striking the ball in that third set. But the power from Lehecka. He just didn't look like losing.
But Jack has done enough for #4 seed at Wimbledon. He'll be back. The hurt at losing today will be his incentive for SW19.

I really have to moan here and get this off my chest. I am sat enjoying watching the men's final. But please can somebody tell me why we still have to have the likes of John Lloyd and Andrew Castle doing the commentary. You can watch Sky tennis and they have such a good array of commentators. Castle just talks non stop even in the middle of some of the rallies. He talks such rubbish and has to keep telling you the same thing, what you are watching, like you are a child. Infuriating and shame on the BBC when there are younger, better commentators they could be using. There rant over. *breathe*

It would be good to hear Andrew Cotter more. He is a bit of a Jack of all Trades but has long ago mastered the art of tennis commentary more than Castle and Lloyd have ever done.
