Wouldnt a three set loss be consistent with him having a chance?

I occasionally have a giggle at some of the mental gymnastics on here to excuse appalling British losses, but this doesnt feel like one of them.
Yes, you are right of course, but still disappointing to this follower of Henry.
Thing with Lloyd Harris is hes got a massive serve. If its on, its hard to break but he can be v up and down, and not very consistent/ secure outside the serve. Streaky but when hes on hes hard to break. Shrug it off!

Agree, I don't think it's a disaster. Harris is an experienced campaigner and has been ranked much higher.

Jack PJ does seem to be going through a bit of a patch at the moment, which is a shame to see when he was touted as our next into the top 100 so recently.

Hope it is temporary and he turns it around soon.

Very well done to Millen but all fall down for our 5 US Open Qualifying entrants which isn't greatly encouraging.

They've done very well at other times this year of course. Maybe some had been celebrating their parts in what I believe will be record breaking top 10 'Strongest Nation' stats when they come out based on the latest rankings
