Yeah some great pics for Jamie from that match....

I'm v surprised (and gutted) that he lost 2 and 2 but from reading the report it sounds like he got his tactics wrong. He tried to play steady and outdo Young for consistency and let Young beat himself but Young's too good for that. He has a great forehand and his serve is getting more and more powerful...if you play passively against him, he'll outhit you. Jamie needed to be aggressive and play attacking tennis, trying to pressurize Young, to win this one

Oh well, hopefully he will have learnt from this....on to Brazil !

Another poor result from Jamie Baker I'm surprised he lost so easily. Lets hope the Brazil trip is worthwhile for him, long way to go otherwise. Then onto Lanzarote weird scheduling I'd say.

Why ?  I'm furious with Donald...I always root for his opponents

Why do you support Lindahl ?  Grr @ Nishkori, looks like he had quite a humdinger with Whitehouse

I like Donald and rate him very highly, that's why. Plus it's sad to see the amount of bashing he suffers on messageboards. He hasn't done anything to deserve what he gets.

I like Lindahl for no reason at all. And pray, why do you root for Donald's opponents?


Kei and Donald face off in the finals.

Pretty much! Also a chance for Donald to get his first men's title. Top 150 by December seems very possible.

Woo! First Futures title for him.
