Slabba is defending 20 of his 36 points from GB Sat 4

Good win, very welcome after the year he's had. Needs a big win tomorrow to give him a chance of retaining his WR, would be a great win if he could make it.

Oops, I forgot Huta Galung's in the field. I think that he, Macca and Guez are probably joint favourites. I don't think King-Turner will threaten those guys.

Superb win for Slabba, hopefully he can give Guez a good match tomorrow. At least, that means that the worst case scenario for 2006, is that he will finish in the high 700s. How many pts is he defending from GB 4 sat 2005 ?

Your only saying that cos he beat Boggo

, what about Recouderc (in fact just read that he's got beat today so forget him

), Lugassy, Scherer, these are all good players, this is a strong field David, I hope Macca wins it, but aint gonna be easy!

Superb by Slabba.
Dan Cox won the battle of the youngsters. And Gregorc beat Lugassy - hopefully Cox has a chance v Gregorc.
Simon Childs obviously found it tough v King-Turner.

I see Huta-Galung has taken an early tumble.

Had a feeling "Jesse" would lose!

Well done Dan Cox, nearing the top 1000 at 16 years!

Go on Slabba and Mack the knife!

Childs got a thrashing didn't he!

Pretty good set of results for Macca I think. Ryderstedt can be dangerous, but he' got rid of Huta Galung, so that was gtood/ bad either way, but defeats for Recouderc and Lugassy has got rid of two of the strong challengers, Eleskovic can be a danger and King-Turner could be a tough opponent, but draw looks a bit clearer already.

Sweet result for Dan! He got an easy draw for the first time this year, and took full advantage of it.

I wonder if he could crack the top 1000 in the next two months. Unlikely, but you never know....

Just dropping a note to say that I saw a link to this forum from the lta site and it is fantastic! It's perfect for catching up on what the british players are up to. I've been tracking a few player via the rankings for a while (Oliver Kalaitzis, Daniel Cox, Richard Bloomfield and a handful of juniors; plus some in the women's game - Natasha Khan [being a Brighton girl], Naomi Cavaday, the Ren girls; I support all of the british players, though) but it's often hard to find out what players are up to outside the ATP and WTA; this place goes into glorious detail.

Keep up the good work guys!

RobC · All-time great

Welcome to the board, Redcabbage! Shame you've found us in the off- season, but it's a great friendly place nevertheless. Do please post an intro in the introductions thread! (Which reminds me - I've still not posted one there myself yet)

Not good news so far from today:

Gregoric beat Cox - don't know score. Not particularly surprising given that Gregoric beat a player like Gary Lugassy in rd1 who's been top 300. Shows how well Rob Searle did against him.

Slabba was a set and 5-1 down when I phoned

Bladetiger · Pro player

All good experience for Dan, hope he made a good impression nonetheless.

It was a big ask for Slabba, but a great shame as the events are really running out now.
