QR1: Marcus Walters WR 966 def. (q10) Matt Ponchet (FRA) WR 784 7-6 7-6


Very pleased

Not only do I like Marcus but Matt has a REALLY ugly game of tennis (his far higher ranked sister is no better)

The dead let ball on the first MP was a little (!) flukey - but Marcus had three MPs so he'd have won it sooner or later (probably )

SC - and probably of interest to SC, only

Rhys' French opponent has a really weird name - Tepmahc

Doesn't make sense - it's not a 'French' word - you can't pronounce it

Supposedly there's only a very, very few of them, all down on the south coast, all originally from the same family, almost certainly

No one can find a place or lieu-dit which might be behind the name (some place names are very weird)

BUT some people think it's simply the name 'Champet' backwards i.e. little field

And that some VERY quirky French guy many centuries back decided to go a bit AWOL, for whatever reason, and changed the name to put it backwards

.....

Meanwhile, Rhys has started very well - but there's quite a few breaks

Currently, 4-3*

Interesting.  I've often wondered about it, assuming it was perhaps of eastern European origin, but been too lazy to look it up.

AI has this to offer:

The surname Tepmahc (notably borne by French tennis player Nicolas Tepmahc) is extremely rare. Genealogical tracking suggests it likely [cringe] traces back via northern Sami language roots (where terms like tepma relate to a hill or mound), or alternatively functions as a rare variant or reversed phonetic spelling linked to Eastern European roots.

Off topic, CD, do you have a problem with full stops at the end of sentences?  confuse

Off topic, I've been told that fullstops in social media and forum texts are considered to be 'aggressive'

And I find this so hilarious that I've actually been going along with it - it amuses me

M. Backwards-little-French-field-with-possible-Eastern-European-overtones was not amused - but Billy played a very focused, calm game - me of little faith was sure that he'd blow it on the second set, but he really kept going about his business extremely proficiently - Billy reminds me a lot of Marcus Willis (to look at, not his tennis) and it's a different hit of the ball
