I Do!

Hopefully Bloomers can do well this week and go some way to defending his points from last year.

Haha, I love the new avatar. Not too sure about Richard flying past Evans though, . Richard hasn't done well in the States this year and Evans is a big hitter who was the 2nd best junior in the world in 2004 and definately has the weapons to hurt Richard.

I think Richard will win but in 3.

From MTF:

Bloomfield def Evans 63 36 64

good win there, epscially considering how much richard has struggled in north america.

as a side note, guy he lost to last week ended up making the semis and losing to pless. i reckon if richard had just had a bit more time to recover from jet lag etc, he'd have made it that far - shame as was a bit of an opportunity lost, but lets hope he can go on a run this week. tough 2nd round potentially tho vs dancevic

It wasn't all bad for Brendan Evans.

Baker/Evans bt (1)Mitchell/Van Der Merwe 6-4 7-5

They face wild cards Simmonds and Witten in the main draw.

Well done to Bloomers for beating Evans and to Jamie for picking him up and getting into the main draw doubles!

Richard plays 2nd seed Dancevic tonight. Match starts at around 10pm GMT. It's
Bloomers or bust for the Brits this week, singles-wise in challengers, as steven would say

Dancevic is currently ranked 88,[career best of 82 reached in October]. He beat Jeff Morrison in rd1, coming back from losing the 1st set 6-1, to take the next two 6-1, 6-3 . Last week in Louisville he made the quarters before surprisingly going out to Bohli. This year he's won the Granby and Waikoloa challengers, qualified for Wimbledon, won a round at TMS Toronto, made the final of the Atlanta and Besancon challengers and the semis of San Luis and Cherbourg challengers.

Tough match as the stats show but Dancevic isn't at his best at the moment, Richard has a slight chance. I'm predicting Dancevic in 3 [and hoping I'm wrong]

Schedule says "Not Before 6.00 pm" ie. Midnight here in UK.

Richard did take a set off Dancevic earlier this year at Queens so hopefully he will remember that and not the two he lost.

Do you know why the ITF site doesn't list the Dancevic-Bloomfield match at Queens qualies this year ?

Lol, just seen Bladetiger's new MTF avatar

Who's the lucky lady ?

I agree with goslabs, I presume that Mrs Bladetiger doesn't frequent those boards
