Shane for Ryan. Landaluce has committed to the grass this year though and learning quickly. Top 8 in NextGen rankings as well. Hoped Ryan might do it, not to be.

He's a very personable young man.  I'm warming to him.  smile 

 And you dont get many Spanish red heads - the Sinner of Spanish tennis?! 

confuse  His hair isn't red, it's quite clearly blond!  And they're surprisingly common in northern Spain (Galicia. Catalunya...), sometimes attributed to the Celts who settled there.  That said, Landaluce is a Madrileño, though his family could easily have migrated there from the north.

 Its borderline then- I saw him in person at Ilkley and Id have gone with a red element to it!

Riedi has grass pedigree, Surbiton final ( or win, cant remember) last year. And been on edge of top 100. Interesting match for Hamish .

Blockx former AO junior champ - he and Oli T could be very tight battle.

How do you get sound?  If I click on "unmute" in the top LH corner, it takes me to a page for e-Toro, which my AV warns me is not to be trusted!

Hamish to BBC reporter, whose name is refusing to stick in my memory (not Annabel Croft) & who asked him to explain the last few minutes of the match:  "Somehow I won!"  biggrin  

         I also saw that interview.  It was between Hamish and Abigail Johnson.
