Time for Bambo to have a decent week.

A tournament win would put him inside the Top 500 - now why did I mention that

George C, Neil P, Milts have good draws as well. The quest may be back on.

Neil's loss today has rather scuppered you there, Bob And he has 10 points coming off the week after . .

 

In fact, the points to defend seem key.

On the downside, going to the end of August, Ash has a big 16, Liam 12, Brydan 15, Gabb 12 . .  

On the good side, Josh Milton is defending practically nothing so he seems a good bet. George C on form and only 2 points to come off.

Toby is also defending nothing in August so fingers crossed - a couple of decent runs and he might be an outside man. Lewis too if not injured. Jack C, James M and cameron also have nothing.

 

But I agree, Luke Bambridge, now is the time - no points off till October - step on up to the plate !

Liam was broken at the start of the 2nd set but broke straight back.

*1-2

No 3 set win today - that's a rarity.

That's an interesting match. Messrs Frank and Kwiatkowski play for Virginia. Just checked the website, which seems to indicate that they don't normally play doubles together, but they certainly will know each other well ... and they are not just any old unranked pair.

Ah but they are up against a very strong pairing both at the ITF college of life and know each other well I fancy the Brit boys
