Terrific news to wake up to. Josh has had such a wretched run recently, both of form and in the luck of the draw, so I am really delighted he has pulled that off today.

Just finished watching the match. Zemlja completely gave up in the second set for whatever reason and just walked through it. But who cares? A good win for Josh after a tough second set, that's all that matters.

confuse  Don't you mean the third set, Mark?  Perhaps he's still suffering the after-effects of the mononucleosis (arguably better known as glandular fever, by the way).  Hev's been back on the circuit for a while, but still isn't consistently producing the results she was getting before she contracted it. hmm

Great result for Josh however I suspect was fortunate this time as from watching the last set it certainly seemed like Zemjla chucked it. I was actually waiting for him to retire from about 3-0.

A win is a win, luckily. Taking that second set was enough to justify whatever happened. Great result, indeed.

Don't think he's that great on clay, so I guess he decided to try and take advantage of a relatively weak challenger field instead to try and get his ranking back up.

Ed from Paris says "Could have done with one or two more following his example".
