With luck it won't provoke a 30-year war this time, but Josh finally completes the deFinnistration of Shrewsbury (igmc)
QF: (1) Josh Goodall WR 252 beat (5) Timo Nieminen (FIN) WR 394 (CH 254 in 2003) by 6-3 7-6(2) QF: (3/Q) Dan Evans WR 367 beat (Q) Juho Paukku (FIN) WR 1180 (CH 379 in 2011) by 4-6 6-2 7-5 QF: (4) Ed Corrie WR 385 beat (Q) Neal Skupski WR 1571 by 4 & 3 QF: Marcus Willis WR 638 beat (Q) George Coupland WR 1159 by 4-6 6-4 6-3
SF: (1) Josh Goodall WR 252 v (3/Q) Dan Evans WR 367
H2H 6-3 (4-3 after 2009), Josh winning their one Futures meeting last year. This is Josh's third SF of the year (1-1) and Evo's first since he won Nottingham last September.
SF: (4) Ed Corrie WR 385 v Marcus Willis WR 638
H2H 1-0, Ilkley 2012, when Ed won 4-6 6-2 6-2. This is Ed's 5th semi-final in a row ... can he make it his 5th Final in a row too? It is Marcus's 3rd SF of the year and, like Josh, he has won one and lost one.

Final: (3/Q) Dan Evans WR 367 defeated (1) Josh Goodall WR 252 by 3 & 4
erm, that was one of the Semi-Finals ...
Whoops! Guilty of presumption, M'Lud... In mitigation, I would plead that it is a little unusual for the singles final of a UK Futures event not to take place on a Saturday. I simply forgot! Anyway, that's my excuse & I'm stickin' to it!
